ssrl

structured scripture reference language. turns strings of bible scriptures to json by parsing them.

I was curious what this would look like as a full on structured language. Curiosity lead me here.

.parse(string)

Input a string, get an array of references in json of that string. Separate them by semicolon.

example:

const ssrl = require('ssrl');
const json = ssrl.parse('Gen 3:16');
console.log(json);
 
/*
output [{ book: 'Gen', chapters: [{ chapter: 3, verses: [{ verse: 16 }] }] }]
*/
