Hi,
I have created a proof of concept of this, which contains the
information only for categorymembers. The code is at [1] and it looks
something like this (XML formatted):
<props>
<prop name="ids">
<properties>
<property name="pageid" type="integer" />
</properties>
</prop>
<prop name="title">
<properties>
<property name="ns" type="namespace" />
<property name="title" type="string" />
</properties>
</prop>
<prop name="type">
<properties>
<property name="type">
<type>
<t>page</t>
<t>subcat</t>
<t>file</t>
</type>
</property>
</properties>
</prop>
</props>
What do you think?
One problem I'm aware of is that the output uses “prop” and “property”
to mean something else. Do you have any suggestions for better naming?
After this, I will add the necessary information to the rest of the
API modules and then post a patch to bugzilla.
