## Description

The **Scripture Burrito** documentation provides a detailed overview of the **1.0.0 specification** for the interchange of Bible-centric content across various applications. This initiative is the result of a multi-year collaboration among organizations such as the American Bible Society, Biblica, and United Bible Societies, and is supported by illumiNations.

**Purpose and Scope**

The primary goal of the Scripture Burrito specification is to define a **portable format** for exchanging existing Bible data across different systems and applications, rather than creating new data formats. It encompasses the entire ecosystem of Bible publication and aims to facilitate interoperability among various tools and platforms used in scripture management.

**Key Features**

The documentation introduces the concept of a **"burrito,"** which serves as a wrapper that contains both content and metadata. This format can be distributed in various digital forms, such as zip files or through API calls. The specification is designed to be compatible with many publisher-facing tools, including popular platforms like YouVersion and Global.Bible.

**Community Engagement**

The Scripture Burrito Committee actively invites feedback on the schema and documentation, encouraging developers and users to contribute their insights to enhance the specification. This collaborative approach aims to address the evolving needs of the community involved in scripture translation and distribution.
