Did you see that they have a json api that hooks directly in to
stackoverflow?

Subject: [program-l] Querying the xml stackover flow dump
Hi all,
Has anyone played with the stack overflow data dumps? I have a XML file of
posts that I want to query and pull results from. I was trying to do so in
python but I am unable to get the package at
https://github.com/kamac/AskXML To work.
You can read about getting the stack overflow dump at
https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/221397/is-there-a-way-to-download-a
n-offline-copy-of-the-stackoverflow-questions
What other options do I have? I am looking at xquery. I can parse the file
in python but am not looking forward to doing that because I would then have
to load the values into a database and query them.
In terms of what I want to do, I want to create a tab delimited file of
questions and their corresponding answers.
Pranav
