Too vague
"Demonstrate how your language can handle this dump"? How?
You need to write a task where all examples are doing one shared thing that is comparable as a feature of those languages implementation of the task. If you mean to highlight one type of XML handling over another then this doesn't do it, for example. --Paddy3118 (talk) 10:00, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
- The task, as explained, is to create a file equivalent than "/usr/share/dict/french" (output), using the wiktionary dump as input. Blue Prawn (talk) 19:27, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
- I too have some questions.
- What does wiktionary have to do with the task? Would any XML encoded word list do? If so, why does the task name include wiktionary?
- Is the task supposed to show how to download and extract a large file in your particular language? The reference implementation just shells out and uses other tools.
- If the task is just extract a certain group of entries from an XML file, how does it differ significantly from XML/XPath?
