Json, Python?

Say I wanted to import and work with the Bible in Houdini (not the ‘Houdini Bible’ but the actual Bible ), what's a good approach for this? I am not sure the quality of text formatting my source will have but assuming I will be able to find an XML that retains some chapter and book headers and the like.

Python
and then depending on your source format you will use corresponding python modules to selectively load data of your interest
TOPs can be also useful in conjunction, but it all depends on what your goal is

also Bible or any common book text is not considered large, probably barely a few MB, I thought you are talking about several GB text files

resurrecting this, as it's a side project that I've left alone for a while. Thanks for your help.

Do you know any resources/guides that will point me in the right direction for this? As I am not fantastic with python.
