The '''zimwriterdb''' is a tool coded in C++ to create zim files. The articles for the files are read from a postgresql database. The schema for the database is [https://github.com/openzim/zimwriterdb/blob/master/db/zim-postgresql.sql in the zimwriterdb source]. The current implementation has an abstraction for the data source, so that it will be possible to implement other data sources (as a replacement to the database) e.g. the file system. | |||

The fulltext search, implemented in zimlib and used in zimreader, needs an index file. The index file is ZIM file with special articles in namespace "X". The indexer, which creates that index file is implemented as a data source in zimwriter. It reads the articles from a zim file to create the full text index. To use it, pass -Z ''zimfile'' to the writer e.g. ''zimwriter -Z wikipedia-de.zim wikipedia-de-x.zim''. | The fulltext search, implemented in zimlib and used in zimreader, needs an index file.
