Please forgive a very noobish question, but ...

Would someone please direct me to any information on the availability of Bibles in structured data formats? Where might I find the KJV, NIV, ESV or other translations available in JSON, XML or, better yet, in a SQL database?

Thanks,
Anthony

Here are a few resources that come to mind:
You can also find Bible texts in one-verse-per-line plain text format at Unbound Bible (a site that is very stale now): http://unbound.biola.edu/index.cfm?method=downloads.showDownloadMain
