Is it possible to generate an entire wiki with links by importing a single CSV or TXT file?

Essentially I want to create a wiki to document our codebase, and have a script that can neatly extract all the relevant descriptions from the code and which functions flow into each other. What I would like to do is take this, in the form of a CSV or TXT file and import it to Confluence and auto generate a wiki, with multiple pages, including links between them. Is it possible to do this?

There is nothing that I know of that can do this. However, Confluence does has a rich REST api that could be used to do this. Another option would be to use the WebDAV plugin to mount Confluence as a file system. Then you could have a script create the pages as if it were simply editing files on a drive. WebDAV info is below.

Thanks Davin, one of those will definitely be suitable for my needs. We are planning to run everything through our own server, will the REST api still work in that case? Or if we have our own server do we need to use the WebDAV approach? Thanks
