Hey everyone :)
Many people writing tools around Wikidata are using the standard XML
dumps. They're not fun to work with. We're now also publishing JSON
dumps. They're generated weekly at the moment. You can find them at
http://dumps.wikimedia.org/other/wikidata/ The current one still has
one little issue: We try to have one entity per line in the dump so it
can be processed line-by-line. In the current dump there are a few
exceptions. It's still valid JSON but not super nice. This will be
fixed with the next one.
I hope we'll see a few more cool tools developed thanks to this.
Cheers
Lydia
