Bible: XML and JSON

Do you want to create a Bible based app? What about an API for Bible verses search? Now you can do this, using sources in your very own language! The main objective of this project is to allow people to create Bible related apps using XML and JSON. Do you like this idea? Help us to go even further. Support this project! :)

How the files are structured?

XML

The XML files are encoded using UTF-8 and built in the following structure:

<book>
  <chapter>
    <verse>Texto</verse>
  </chapter>
</book>

JSON

The JSON files are also encoded using UTF-8 and built in the following structure:

[
	{
	"abbrev" : "abbrev"
	"book" : "name"
	"chapters": 
		[
			["Verse 1", "Verse 2", "Verse 3", "..."],
			["Verse 1", "Verse 2", "Verse 3", "..."],
			["Verse 1", "Verse 2", "Verse 3", "..."]
		]
	}
]

You can get the number of the chapter and verse using the array index.
