Requirements such as the use of a wiki-based platform and high flexibility demands made us adopt the data organization discussed here.

This page we will deal with the component that implements what was discussed in the previously mentioned link.

On the component

As the name suggests, the wiki-parser in not a component per se, but more a sub component associated to the wiki. It enables the wiki to have access to a uniform data model, abstracting the steps needed in order to attain the model itself (for example parsing the markdown of a wiki’s article).

Given the nature of the component, a test suite was developed to assert that new additions to it don’t break compatibility to what had already been implemented.

For brevity these have been left out of this document, though they can be found what the component’s repository (access is granted if requested), where they integrate the deployment pipeline.
