Good idea. I’ll look into how we can markup an OSIS text with a mapping to the KJV. If we can do that, then the form that SWORD/JSword needs is merely a form that the two can agree upon.

Chapters have verse counts, answering "What is the highest verse number in the chapter?” JSword and SWORD differ a bit on internal representation of chapter counts, but the biggest difference is that we have one representation for the OT and one for the NT, allowing reuse of a testament’s chapter counts. The other is a slight difference where we don’t have a separate array of the counts of chapters.

The above representations are sufficiently compact. The python script that is used to generate the canon file can be adapted to create any format we choose.
