API:Data formats/zh

输入
API是通过询问字符串以提供该参数，或者是以 或 形式进行的HTTP请求. 每个模块和子模块都有自己的一组参数，这些参数在文档和action=help中列出. 也可以通过检索它们.

编码
所有输入在UTF-8，以及NFC的表格里应当是有效的. MediaWiki将会尝试转换为其他的格式，这或许会导致程序上的错误.

多值参数
Parameters that take multiple values are normally submitted with the values separated using the pipe character, e.g.. If a value contains the pipe character in itself, use U+001F (Unit Separator) as the separator and prefix the value with U+001F, e.g..

Whether a parameter accepts multiple values is listed explicitly in its module documentation.

布尔参数
If a boolean parameter is specified in an HTTP request, it is considered true regardless of its value. For a false value, omit the parameter entirely. The best way to specify a true parameter in an HTTP request is to use ; the trailing   ensures the browser or HTTP library does not discard the "empty" someParam.

时间戳
Parameters that take timestamp values accept multiple timestamp formats:


 * ISO 8601格式:.
 * MySQL的内部时间戳格式:.
 * UNIX时间戳格式  (自1970年1月1日以来的秒数).
 * UNIX时间戳格式  (自1970年1月1日以来的秒数).

时间戳总是输出ISO 8601格式.

输出
The standard and default output format in MediaWiki is JSON. All other formats are discouraged.

The output format should always be specified using  with yourformat being one of the following:



回应
Unless specified, all modules allow data output in all generic formats. To simplify debugging, all generic formats have "pretty-print in HTML" alternatives with an  suffix, e.g..

JSON参数
The following parameters can be used with  and  :



补充资料
在那些情况中，被 参数指定的格式只会在发生错误时使用.
 * XML和PHP输出格式已废弃但仍被使用. Clients written in PHP should avoid using the PHP format because it is fundamentally insecure. It is maintained for now only due to its popularity.
 * There are many conversion libraries and online converters to convert JSON responses to other formats—for example, JSON-CSV converts to Comma-Separated Values.
 * Feed modules like Feed Recent Changes override the standard output format, instead using RSS or Atom, as specified by their  parameter.
