Core Platform Team/Initiatives/VE Backend Migration

The VE Backend Migration refers to the effort of making the VisualEditor action API use Parsoid directly as a MediaWiki core component, instead of calling it via RESTbase. This is part of the effort to sunset RESTbase (see also: RESTBase/deprecation).

Tasks are tracked using the "VE Pile" column on the RESTbase Sunsetting. The tracking task is phab:T264669. The technical lead is Daniel Kinzler.

Primary Challanges:

• implement stashing for editing context in MediaWiki.
• implement parser cache warming for parsoid output in MediaWiki
