Quran API – Free and simple access to the holy Quran
A similar thing has also been done with other religious texts (e.g. https://github.com/Sefaria/Sefaria-Project/wiki)
It would be quite interesting if all the world religions’ and philosophies’ texts could be hosted with a common format and available with an API for linking and finding parallels etc.
Maybe then run it all though GPT-3 and generate a new ideology – perhaps a bit scary as to what will come out!

Quran API – Free and simple access to the holy Quran
I have a bit of minor frustration with how many different XML formats there are for scripture. We have OSIS and USX/USFX, both supposedly universal but really just used for the Bible and Torah.
I cannot access the tanzil XML file right now due to MobileSafari layout issues (boo). https://github.com/ceefour/qurandatabase has its own consistent DTD, but I doubt this is the only format I will find.
What are some alternatives?
