Project Kaleidscope is a modern, lightweight MediaWiki API wrapper for .NET platforms (.NET Core and .NET Framework) built by Moegirlpedia. It's goal is making interoperating with MediaWiki easy and enjoyable.

The original MediaWiki API lives for years (even prior to modern technology). All actions call one single endpoint (/api.php), everything is described with query string or form data, which doesn't make sense for modern application development.

To address this issue, we developed this library to make development easier.

This is anexperimental project, which means lots of changes may happen every day. We are still working on making API calls more elegant.

Check out the source tree, and build it with .NET Core SDK (at least 1.0 RTM).

Project Kaleidscope utilizesDependency Injection. For example, if you want to use your own session provider module (e.g. JWT token), you may implement your ownISessionProvider, then inject your implementation to API service collection. Then all requests in this service collection scope will use JWT token for authentication instead of the old-school cookie-based one.

For more information about Dependency Injection, check out our wiki documentation and online resources.

Feel free to open an issue if you encounter problems. For pull requests, all unit tests should pass.
