title: JAVA API for Wikipedia
body: <p>is there any (JAVA) API for polling Wikipedia for data about a specified person or anything else ? Any other such API would be useful.</p>
  
  <p>Example - search for Michael Jackson</p>
  
  <p>I found this <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1397938/is-there-any-api-in-java-to-access-wikipedia-data">link</a>, but this does not seem to address this query.</p>
