Since it's just a text file, it's trackable using Git.The properly formatted JSON files are easy to read and write, even for common people.It can be opened and edited by every text editor in every operating system.Every programming languages support JSON, and most of them include JSON parser and decoder in standard library.Quran metadata, surah, and word-by-word translation.

There are two formats that used in this repository:
It must be usable with Git, and the diff must be easy to read. It must be easy to read and write even for non-programmers. It must supports rich-text formatting and footnotes. It must be platform agnostic, and doesn't require specific app to use. It must be usable across programming languages. When choosing format for this repository, there are several criterias that must be fulfilled: However, as far as I know all of them doesn't really mention the source and how the data are collected. There are several other repositories that also collects the Quranic data. To give proper attributions and explanation on how the data collected. Hopefully this repository can be used as archive so those useful data doesn't vanish even after the original websites are gone. There are also cases where governments decided to ban Quranic apps from app stores. There are several useful Quranic website that went down after being inactive for several years. To archive dataset, in case the original source goes down or unreachable. It would be nice if all of those dataset only use a single type of formatting. It would be nice if there is a single repository to gather them all.Įach dataset source usually has their own format which means the developer need to parse and normalize each of them. To centralize all Quran dataset in one place.Ĭurrently, to create Quran apps, developers need to gather data from various sources either by downloading, using API, or scraping manually. There are several reasons why this repository created: This repository is collection of free dataset for everything related to Quran: from the text, translation, word-by-word, and tafsir.
