KJV Bible Search is available as four products that share the same overall Bible-search experience but
use different delivery architectures. The Android App combines two offline engines and two online engines;
the Website Version combines online JSON search with 1,189 static HTML chapter pages; and the WordPress
Plugin uses its bundled kjv_full.json Bible database, while the Universal HTML + PWA package uses packaged Bible/application resources for its core Bible-search functions.
Quad-System Architecture: Offline Bible Engine, Offline Audio Engine, Online JSON Engine and Online HTML Engine.
Online unified KJV Bible JSON search plus 1,189 static HTML chapter pages and nine full Prophetic Series pages.

One Universal product with standalone HTML/CSS/JavaScript and installable PWA deployment methods using packaged KJV Bible resources without requiring WordPress, PHP or an external Bible API for the core application.
The Android App is the complete offline + online edition. It uses the built-in KJV_FULL.json Bible data for offline search and rendering, its offline TTS engine for the full Bible and nine prophetic books, and the online JSON + HTML systems whenever internet access is available.
Full Bible text, search, Results Box, navigation, TTS, highlighting and the nine books remain available without connectivity.
