Namespace Provider

Enter a topic name to show or a new topic name to create; then press Enter

. An extension mechanism provided by Flexwiki to let namespaces be backed by any kind of store.

The orgininal flexwiki implementation came with a filesystem-based store. It is still the most performant and commonly used store.

But it is possible to implement namespace providers which provide alternatives. These may be read/write providers (like SqlProvider) or even read-only providers which create a namespace which is a cache of topics that live in another datastore. This is useful both for viewing, and also re-using that content by having other read-write namespaces share and extend the read-only namespace via WikiFederation.

Examples

• SqlProvider (~1381 lines of C#. SqlProvider directory of the src distribution)
