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", "..."]
		]
	}
