v2 API is now deprecated. These incomplete docs have been archived from the main API docs page.
Parsoid gained a "v2" API in December 2014 to act as middleware behind RESTBase entry points. The spec for it is at docs/specs/apiv2.yaml.
The main addition is a new format pagebundle, that responds to a request with a JSON structure containing separate data-parsoid data for clean roundtripping between HTML and wikitext and a html key with slimmer HTML of {title} without data-parsoid attributes.
For example, compare the value of html.body in
with the HTML of
