I could be wrong but I saw your library and I see that you use the XML format, but it's not going to be supported in new versions o MediaWiki, you can see this warning below:

"All formats other than JSON are deprecated. XML and PHP are still supported, but all others have been removed in either MediaWiki 1.26 or 1.27; see the table below. All new API users should use JSON" [1]

Thanks for the bugreport/comment see http://mediawiki-japi.bitplan.com/index.php/Jaxbgenerator and https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T16025 and https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T100063 for the discussion that have been ongoing for a while now. In principle Mediawiki-Japi can also work with Json - feel free to try to modify the code and create a pull request. I'll work on it when I am upgrading my main mediawiki sites to a version that doesn't support xml any more.

It is already possible to use format="json" and if the API has changed like in the createAccount case use the rawJson returned.
