Canonical Reference Resolution Engine

curl --get https://holybible.dev/api/resolve \
  --data-urlencode "reference=II cor 5 17"

{
  "valid": true,
  "canonical_id": "2CO.5.17",

  "confidence": 0.9465
}

Messy human input becomes deterministic canonical structure — with OSIS-compatible identifiers.

Designed for production systems that require structural validation and immutable reference coordinates.

Translation-agnostic by design.
The Resolution Engine produces canonical and OSIS-compatible identifiers that integrate with any structured Bible database — including proprietary translations already licensed by your organization.
