The
|
|
[share/quran-json/TheQuran](share/quran-json/TheQuran/)
|
|
directory contains multiple sub-directories, where each sub-directory represents
|
|
a locale (eg `en` for English, `ar` for Arabic, and so on). Within each sub-directory,
|
|
there is a JSON file for each surah (also known as a chapter).
|
|
|
|
The structure of each JSON file can be described as an array where the first element is
|
|
an object that contains information about a surah, and the rest of the array contains
|
|
the content of the surah. The content is composed of two-element arrays - where the first
|
|
element is the ayah number (also known as a verse number), and the second element is the
|
|
content of the ayah.
|
|
|
|
See [Surah Al-Fatihah (English)](share/quran-json/TheQuran/en/1.json) for an example.
