## About
|
|
|
|
quran-json is a dual purpose project where on the one hand it provides a utility
|
|
for downloading the content of The Quran in multiple languages, and on the other hand
|
|
it provides a copy of the content that can be downloaded. In both scenarios, the content
|
|
is provided in the JSON format.
|
|
|
|
## <a id='share/quran-json'>share/quran-json/TheQuran/</a>
|
|
|
|
* [share/quran-json/TheQuran/ar/](share/quran-json/TheQuran/ar/) contains The Quran in its original Arabic.
|
|
* [share/quran-json/TheQuran/en/](share/quran-json/TheQuran/en/) contains an English translation of The Quran.
|
|
* [share/quran-json/TheQuran/fa/](share/quran-json/TheQuran/fa/) contains a Farsi translation of The Quran.
|
|
* [share/quran-json/TheQuran/pt/](share/quran-json/TheQuran/pt/) contains a Portuguese translation of The Quran.
|
|
|
|
### JSON layout
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
## <a id='bin/quran-json'>bin/quran-json</a>
|
|
|
|
The [bin/quran-json](bin/quran-json) executable is a utility for downloading
|
|
the content of The Quran in multiple languages.
|
|
|
|
### Usage
|
|
|
|
Usage: quran-json pull [OPTIONS]
|
|

## Thanks
|
|
|
|
First and foremost, Alhamdulillah.
|
|
|
|
I'd also like to extend thanks to the following websites for providing
|
|
the content that quran-json downloads:
|
|
|
|
* https://searchtruth.com for the original Arabic.
|
|
* https://quran.com for the English, Portuguese, and Farsi translations.
