Parsoid/zh



Parsoid是一个允许在wikitext和HTML之间来回转换的库. 原始应用程序是用JavaScript编写的（借助Node.js），并自2012年12月起在维基媒体集群上运行. 在2019年，Parsoid移植到PHP，维基媒体集群于2019年12月以PHP版本取代了JS版本. Parsoid已经集成到MediaWiki核心，其目标是最终取代MediaWiki当前的本地解析器.

Parsoid (the PHP version) has been natively bundled with MediaWiki since version 1.35, released in September 2020. For non-Wikimedia installations, Parsoid/JS was supported until the end-of-life of MediaWiki 1.31 (LTS) in September 2021.



技术细节
Parsoid is an application which can translate back and forth between MediaWiki's wikitext syntax and an equivalent HTML/RDFa document model with enhanced support for automated processing and rich editing.

It has been under development by a team at the Wikimedia Foundation since 2012. It is currently used extensively by, , and other applications.

Parsoid is intended to provide flawless back-and-forth conversion, i.e. to avoid information loss and also prevent "dirty diffs".

On Wikimedia wikis, for several applications, Parsoid is currently proxied behind, which stores the HTML translated by Parsoid. It is expected that RESTBase will eventually be replaced with a cache more tightly integrated with MediaWiki.

For more on the overall project, see this blog post from March 2013. To read about the HTML model being used, see MediaWiki DOM spec.

Parsoid was originally structured as a web service and written in JavaScript, making use of. A tech talk from February 2019 and blog post describes the process of porting it to PHP. The Parsoid extension API is currently under active development; a tech talk from August 2020 describes this work.

安裝
In MediaWiki 1.35 LTS Parsoid/PHP is included in the bundle and loaded automatically by Visual Editor. No configuration necessary if used on a single server.

If you are a developer working on 1.36, explicitly loading Parsoid is required since August 24, 2020 (the auto-load hack was removed in 1.36-wmf.6). Add to LocalSettings.php:

This is expected to change for the release of 1.36.

开发
Development happens in the. Code review happens in Gerrit. See Gerrit/Getting started to set up an account for yourself.

If you use the development environment using a virtual machine, you can simply add the role   to it and it will set up a working Parsoid along with. (This may have been broken by the switch to Parsoid/PHP: T258940)

Note that the most-recently released version of Parsoid is written in PHP, and installation of Parsoid/PHP is what is described below. This is what you should use if you are running MediaWiki 1.35 or later. Check Parsoid/JS if you are running the old version of Parsoid written in JavaScript, and used for MW 1.34 and earlier.

In a standard MediaWiki installation, Parsoid code is bundled in two different ways: first, Parsoid is included from MediaWiki as a composer library,. This contains the main codebase, but does not contain the REST API used by VisualEditor and RESTBase. In order to enable the REST API, the extension code included in the Parsoid library can be loaded with a call to  in your.

For development purposes you usually want to use a git checkout of Parsoid, and not the version bundled in MediaWiki core as a composer library. The following lines added to allow use of a git checkout of Parsoid (optionally), load the Parsoid REST API with  (rather than using the version bundled in VisualEditor) and manually do the Parsoid configuration which is usually done by VisualEditor:

These lines are not necessary for most users of VisualEditor, who can use auto-configuration and the bundled Parsoid code included in MediaWiki 1.35 and VisualEditor, but they will be required for most developers.

If you're serving MediaWiki with Nginx, you'll need to also add something like this in your server block (Assuming your MediaWiki setup has its files residing in ):

To test proper configuration, visit  where  is the hostname in your. (Note that production WMF servers do not expose the Parsoid REST API to the external network.)



运行测试
To run all parser tests and mocha tests:

The parser tests have quite a few options now which can be listed using.

If you have the environment variable  pointing to a configured MediaWiki installation, you can run some additional tests with:



转换简单的wikitext
You can convert simple wikitext snippets from the command line using the  script in the   directory:

echo 'Foo' | php bin/parse.php

The parse script has a lot of options. gives you information about this.

Continuous Integration
 As of October 2021 

Parsoid is always available as a library since it is a composer dependency of MediaWiki core. But two pieces are not enabled:


 * Parsoid ServiceWiring
 * Parsoid's external REST api

The test runner Quibble would enable it if it detects  has been cloned as part of the build. In which case it:


 * points the autoloader for  to the cloned code (effectively replacing the version installed by composer)
 * Load the extension

The ServiceWiring should be enabled in MediaWiki starting with 1.38.

The REST API would theorically never get merged in MediaWiki: a) it has never been exposed to the public in production, it is an internal API used by RESTBase which is going away; b) it never has been security audited and c) it is redundant with the enterprise MediaWiki API. The solution will be for VisualEditor to invoke Parsoid directly via the VisualEditor Action API which would save a round trip through the REST API.

Loading the extension is thus a hack which enables using interfaces subject to change and which we don't really want people to use yet.

For most purposes, parsoid should thus not be added as a CI dependency, the only exception as of October 2021 is the Disambiguator MediaWiki extension.

Loading parsoid as an extension let us run MediaWiki integration test jobs against  (such as Quibble, apitesting) and ensure Parsoid and MediaWiki work together.

An extension may be able to write tests with Parsoid even when the repository has not been cloned. Since it is a composer dependency of MediaWiki core the  namespace is available, but the service wiring part is not (it is   in the Parsoid repository and exposed as the   namespace). The  code would only run the parser tests if Parsoid has been loaded (which should be the default with MediaWiki 1.38).

For CI, Parsoid is tested against the tip of mediawiki, whereas mediawiki is tested with the composer dependency. In case of a breaking change, the Parsoid change get merged first (which breaks its CI but not MediaWiki one) and MediaWiki get adjusted when Parsoid is updated. It is thus a one way change.

Release build
For MediaWiki release builds, we have an integration of Parsoid ServiceWiring into VisualEditor in order to have VisualEditor work without further configuration (beside a ). The release build also enables the REST API and hook everything us so that parsoid works out of the box. This is done by copying a bit of parsoid code into VisualEditor which is not in the master branch of VisualEditor since that would be obsolete as soon as Parsoid is updated. Instead the code is maintained in two places.
