Read a Bible translation in SwiftUI, without writing the plumbing twice.

What's inside

• BibleModels BibleBook, BibleChapter, BibleVerse, BibleTestament
• BibleParser Streaming XMLParser-based parser
• BibleReaderModel An @Observable load-state view model
• BibleReaderView Book → chapter → verses reading screen

Data source

The text lives in a git submodule of Holy-Bible-XML-Format, a dataset covering hundreds of translations across most written languages. BibleKit bundles the Afrikaans 2020 translation as a package resource via Bundle.module, so consuming apps get a working Bible out of the box, with no extra setup.

Usage

Add BibleKit as a Swift package dependency, then drop in the reading screen:

import BibleKit

struct ContentView: View {
    var body: some View {
        BibleReaderView()
    }
}

Or use the pieces directly — BibleParser.parseBundled() returns the parsed translation and books, and BibleReaderModel wraps that in an observable load state for your own UI.
