After reading sword module files with server-side Javascript (<a href="https://github.com/zefanja/node-swordjs" target="_blank">https://github.com/zefanja/<u></u>node-swordjs</a>) I was able to read the ztext modules in the browser. I've used the FileAPI to read a *.bzz file (or better only a part of it) and decompress the ArrayBuffer/Uint8Array with zlib.js (<a href="https://github.com/imaya/zlib.js" target="_blank">https://github.com/imaya/<u></u>zlib.js</a>) to get uncompressed data.<br>
<br>
I don't like the idea of rewriting everything from scratch, but currently there is no way to use the c++ code for a javascript implentation. I've tried to port the SWFilter part with Emscripten but without success. I think it is possible to port the simple filters that only have a processText() function, but the OSIS filters have to many dependencies (like SWModule, SWMgr, VerseKey, ...).<br>
<br>
Another problem is (like mentioned before) how to store the module files in a browser. There is the FileSystem API, but it is Chrome-only. IndexedDB is implemented in Firefox, Chrome and IE10, but you can store file blobs only in Firefox and not in the other browsers. There is a FileSystem API wrapper for Firefox (<a href="https://github.com/ebidel/idb.filesystem.js" target="_blank">https://github.com/ebidel/<u></u>idb.filesystem.js</a>) but with some limitations.<br>
<br>
What do you think about a HTML5/JS implemantion in general? How can we use as much as possible code of the current library so that we don't have to rewrite everything from scratch?<br>
<br>
I will uploaded my code as soon as I cleaned it up.<br>
