Bringing the Bible to developers.
CornerStone has not come out with its first official release yet, but you can read more about it below!
CornerStone is a standalone JavaScript library that provides the Bible to developers by combining multiple free online API's.
One of the key features of CornerStone is Adapters. Each Adapter is created for a Bible API and is integrated into CornerStone. CornerStone's single API can be used to access all of the content available from each Bible API adapter. As additional adapters are added, no change is required from your code.
Load CornerStone into your Node project or browser; create an instance; and you are ready to go!
CornerStone is provided via JavaScript, which means that it works across all platforms. CornerStone can be used in Node projects, Web apps, and the browser!
CornerStone intelligently caches calls to online Bible resources resulting in fewer calls; improving efficiency and data usage of users.
CornerStone utilizes one of the newer features of JavaScript called Promises, a way to asynchronously retrieve content. Promises provide elegant error handling and chaining of calls.
Every project is different. Configure CornerStone to suit your project needs.
Every adapter that is added increases the number of languages and versions that are accessible to developers using CornerStone.
By default all of the freely accessible adapters will by provided. You can choose to exclude an adapter if the API terms do not coincide with your usage. Some APIs may require an API key before they can be included and used.
For any issues, logging can be enabled to CornerStone to output to the console. You can define how verbose you want to be: every detail or only errors.
Greatness awaits!
