// Create a client for the English Wikipedia REST API
let api = RestApiBuilder::wikipedia("en").build();

// From the page "Rust (programming language)"...
let page = Page::new("Rust (programming language)");

// ...retrieve basic information and wikitext
let (page_info,wikitext) = page.get(&api, false).await.unwrap();

// Edit an existing page
let token = "my_oauth_token";
let api = RestApiBuilder::wikipedia("en")
    .with_access_token(token)
    .build();
let (page_info,_) = page.get(&api, false).await.unwrap();
page.edit(&api, &page_info.latest, "new page wikitext", "a comment")
    .await
    .expect("Failed to edit page");

// Convert some wikitext to Parsoid HTML.
let html = Transform::wikitext2html("[[Foo|bar]]", &api).await.unwrap();
