Ahh ok - that helps a bit.<br><br>Yeah - generally speaking, JSON can become a very powerful tool when referencing large data sets (i.e. bibles) - especially if you're willing to simply use an enormous amount of memory and load an entire bible into a single variable... and let's be honest, ever since Java and Firefox, using large amounts of memory hasn't been an issue for developers.... ;-)<br>
<br>I think it would be a great test-case to build out our own online bible reader (i.e. <a href="http://blueletterbible.org">blueletterbible.org</a> ) that used our modules and extended them through PHP/JSON to the user. I mean, if we just build the API plenty of other developers could carry it from there, yes? It seems to me that there is definitely a need for this growing within the Christian development community...<br>

While I'm sure the XML->JSON converter is interesting, generating JSON directly is likely to give you fewer problems.<div><br></div><div>On that note, my job deals very extensively with JSON, so I'm quite familiar with the technology.</div>

Hi David,<br>
<br>
For my own part, I'm not developing anything in JSON, just seeking to<br>
understand whether and why JSON might be of potential interest to CrossWire<br>
developers.<br>
i.e. Got my "lateral thinking hat" on.<br>
<br>
This article may of interest.<br>
