Using Jira API (Not SOAP/REST Only) in a .NET application

Question

I am using Jira client for .NET via webservices; that enabled me to perform various tasks like retrieve and update issues, fields etc. The problem is when the issue is retrieved, some of the issue fields are in a wiki text format, e.g.

* Heading
*# point 1
*# point 2

I need to convert this format to plain text or HTML. After doing some research I found that this functionality is provided in JIRA Api by

Class AtlassianWikiRenderer http://docs.atlassian.com/jira/latest/com/atlassian/jira/issue/fields/renderer/wiki/AtlassianWikiRenderer.html

My question is how can I use the functionality (AtlassianWikiRenderer) or other as specified in here http://docs.atlassian.com/jira/latest/overview-summary.html in a .NET project?

You can't use JIRA API classes from .NET app unless you provide an additional method of communication between your app and JIRA. This may be:

extending JIRA SOAP service
implementing your own REST service as a plugin

The other way is to get an issue view page as HTML and parse it. It's not that good but it works. Even some commercial products use this way.
