Wiki.java
A Java wiki bot framework that is only one file -- org/wikipedia/Wiki.java. Some functionality provided by MediaWiki extensions deployed on Wikimedia sites is available in org/wikipedia/WMFWiki.java. This project also contains the source code to the tools hosted at https://wikipediatools.appspot.com and other Wikipedia-related bits and pieces. Requires JDK >= 21. For those using modules, only the java.base, java.net.http and java.logging modules are required.
Latest stable version: 0.38 -- MediaWiki versions 1.39+
