A WikiAPI is an API for a client to interact with a wiki server. == Notable contenders == The frontrunner wiki API seems to be WikiRPCInterface, a wiki API over XML-RPC (see XmlRpcWikiInterface). Lots of wiki servers implement their own idiosyncratic APIs, sometimes hoping that others will adopt them. [http://interwiki.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?WikiGateway WikiGateway] is a client library for multiple wiki API protocols. Hopefully [http://interwiki.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?WikiGateway WikiGateway] will solve the chicken-and-the-egg problem for wiki APIs, allowing wiki API clients to be built even before the API standards converge. Perhaps this will accelerate convergence. == Discussion == [new:BayleShanks:2007-04-03 12:29 UTC] I think a WebDAVWikiAPI (with DeltaV) may be the way to go. It's one of the few generic (non wiki-only) protocol I know of for managing and publishing versioned documents. However, WebDAV isn't too lightweight, and I can hardly find any implementations of DeltaV. So maybe it would be better to go with something lighter-weight, like Atom. On the other hand [http://subversion.tigris.org/webdav-usage.html Subversion's protocol is similar to DeltaV]. So maybe we should just use a frozen, "standardized" version of the Subversion protocol. ---- CategoryStandardRole CategoryWiki
