Decoding Page_Props Dump

[smithGit]

This looks like a great .Net solution for decoding Wikimedia dumps, but I am having difficulty determining how to use for a specific dump, the enwiki-latest-page_props.sql. Would it be possible to add a ReadMe with some pointers or an example of how to use? I am specifically trying to use the page_props to cross-reference a set of Wikipedia page id's to their corresponding Wikidata Q-item Id's.

Hi, I apologize for not responding sooner. Unfortunately, I don't have much time for this project and that includes creating a README, and many other tasks that should be done here.

I did create a type for the page_props dump, so, if this is still useful to you, you can now access the data in it using code like:

CachingStream.CachePath = @"E:\Wikipedia dumps";

var pageProps = PageProps.Instance.Get("enwiki", new DateTime(2019, 5, 1), downloadPages: false);

foreach (var pp in pageProps)
{
	Console.Write($"{pp.PageId}, {pp.Name}, {pp.Value}, {pp.SortKey}");
}

If you want to access the pp.Page property, change downloadPages to true (but keep in mind it requires downloading the whole page.sql dump first, which is 1.6 GB in the case of enwiki).
