Perhaps you need an easy and quick way to extract specific information from a Wiktionary entry, such as a word’s part of speech or definitions? While Wikimedia’s API allows you to retrieve text-only entries for a given word, it doesn’t allow you to target a specific subsection of the entries. This is where the Wikparser comes in.

The current version of Wikparser (0.2), written in PHP, allows you to extract a word’s parts of speech, definitions, and synonyms. It currently supports French and English natively, but was written so as to allow for support for other languages to be easily added.
