The purpose of this project is quite simple - I was converting different versions of the Old and New Testament into machine-readable format for my own needs, and then decided to share the result with you. The directory structure is extremely simple:
Language -> Canon -> Book -> Version.
In the language folder there is also index.json, which has an obvious structure
I try to stick to standard naming for books and versions whenever possible.
To find, for example, the Synodal translation of Genesis from the Old Testament, look in the directory RU / OT / GEN / SYNO.json
The structure of the files themselves is a little less obvious:
{
"version": "version or translation identifier",
"ID": "full identifier of book, canon and translation",
"name": "book name",
"text": [
{
"ID": "chapter identifier",
"name": "chapter name",
"text": [
{"ID": "paragraph identifier", "text": "paragraph text"},
...
]
},
...
]
}
If you find any flaws or problems in the files, or want to upload other variants (or translations) - send pull requests, as usual.
- We clearly need a file describing the version (meta information and which books are included in it)
- Need to proofread all files by eye
- We need more books and options, pull requests are welcome
