Use libzim for all remaining ZIM access

Open mossroy opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

At least to :

  • read the metadata when opening the ZIM files the first time
  • find the main entry
  • find a random entry
  • handle the jQuery mode

I would like to work on this issue. Can you guide me how to get started. It would be very helpful.

Well, it's a bit too early to work on this issue. We first need to implement #767 and #769

And these 3 issues can be difficult for newcomers : we're trying to replace some javascript code by an emscripten-compiled C library, with all the technical issues that can be raised, like #513 (which is an issue in emscripten itself)
