The original application was written in JavaScript (using Node.js) and started running on the Wikimedia cluster in December 2012. In 2019, Parsoid was ported to PHP, and the PHP version replaced the JS version on the Wikimedia cluster in December 2019. Parsoid <a href="/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Parsing/Parser_Unification" title="Special:MyLanguage/Parsing/Parser Unification">is being integrated into core MediaWiki</a>, with the goal of eventually replacing MediaWiki's current native parser. In early 2024, Parsoid began to be used on some production wikis as the default parser for read views. </p><p>Parsoid (the PHP version) has been <a href="/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/PHP" title="Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/PHP">natively bundled</a> 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 <a href="/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Version_lifecycle" title="Special:MyLanguage/Version lifecycle">September 2021</a>. The legacy parser will still be supported in MediaWiki 1.43 (LTS). </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc"/> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Technical_details" data-mw-thread-id="h-Technical_details"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Technical_details"></span>Technical details<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Technical_details"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Parsoid&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Technical details"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Parsoid is an application which can translate back and forth between MediaWiki's <a href="/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikitext" title="Special:MyLanguage/Wikitext">wikitext</a> syntax and an equivalent HTML/RDFa document model with enhanced support for automated processing and rich editing. </p><p>It has been under development by a team at the Wikimedia Foundation since 2012.

But two pieces are not enabled: </p> <ul><li>Parsoid ServiceWiring</li> <li>Parsoid's external REST api</li></ul> <p>The test runner <a href="/wiki/Quibble" class="mw-redirect" title="Quibble">Quibble</a> would enable it if it detects <code>mediawiki/services/parsoid.git</code> has been cloned as part of the build. In which case it: </p> <ul><li>points the autoloader for <code>Wikimedia\Parsoid</code> to the cloned code (effectively replacing the version installed by composer)</li> <li>Load the extension <code>wfLoadExtension( 'Parsoid', '/path/to/cloned/repo' );</code></li></ul> <p>The ServiceWiring should be enabled in MediaWiki starting with 1.38. </p><p>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. </p><p>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. </p><p>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. </p><p>Loading parsoid as an extension let us run MediaWiki integration test jobs against <code>mediawiki/services/parsoid.git</code> (such as Quibble, apitesting) and ensure Parsoid and MediaWiki work together. </p><p>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 <code>MediaWiki\Parsoid</code> namespace is available, but the service wiring part is not (it is <code>extension/src</code> in the Parsoid repository and exposed as the <code>\MWParsoid</code> namespace). The <code>ParsoidTestFileSuite.php</code> code would only run the parser tests if Parsoid has been loaded (which should be the default with MediaWiki 1.38). </p><p>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. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Release_build" data-mw-thread-id="h-Release_build"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Release_build"></span>Release build<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Release_build"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Parsoid&action=edit&section=10" title="Edit section: Release build"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>For MediaWiki release builds, we have an integration of Parsoid ServiceWiring into VisualEditor in order to have VisualEditor work without further configuration (beside a <code>wfLoadExtension( 'VisualEditor' )</code>). 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. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Technical_documents" data-mw-thread-id="h-Technical_documents"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Technical_documents"></span>Technical documents<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Technical_documents"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Parsoid&action=edit&section=11" title="Edit section: Technical documents"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Parsoid/Internals" title="Parsoid/Internals">Parsoid/Internals</a>: documentation about Parsoid internals with links to other details.</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Parsing/Notes/Moving_Parsoid_Into_Core/Porting" title="Special:MyLanguage/Parsing/Notes/Moving Parsoid Into Core/Porting">PHP Porting notes</a> and <a href="/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/PHP/Help_wanted" title="Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/PHP/Help wanted">help-wanted tasks</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Parsoid/Deployments" title="Parsoid/Deployments">Parsoid deployment agenda on Wikimedia cluster</a> (code normally deployed every Monday and Wednesday between 1pm - 1:30pm PST)</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Parsoid/Round-trip_testing" title="Parsoid/Round-trip testing">Parsoid/Round-trip testing</a>: The round-trip testing setup we are using to test the wikitext -> HTML DOM -> wikitext round-trip on actual Wikipedia content.</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Parsoid/Visual_Diffs_Testing" class="mw-redirect" title="Parsoid/Visual Diffs Testing">Parsoid/Visual Diffs Testing</a>: Info about visual diff testing for comparing Parsoid's html rendering with php parser's html rendering + a testreduce setup for doing mass visual diff tests.</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Parsoid/limitations" title="Parsoid/limitations">Parsoid/limitations</a>: Limitations in Parsoid, mainly contrived templating (ab)uses that don't matter in practice.
