BookMetaData

All Superinterfaces:

Comparable<BookMetaData>

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractBookMetaData, DefaultBookMetaData, SwordBookMetaData
```
public interface BookMetaData
extends Comparable<BookMetaData>
```
A BookMetaData represents a method of translating the Bible. All Books with the same BookMetaData should return identical text for any call to Bible.getText(VerseRange). The implication of this is that there may be many instances of the Version "NIV", as there are several different versions of the NIV - Original American-English, Anglicised, and Inclusive Language editions at least.
BookMetaData like Strings must be compared using .equals() instead of ==. A Bible must have the ability to handle a book unknown to JSword. So Books must be able to add versions to the system, and the system must cope with books that already exist.

    Returns:
    true if the book is supported

    Returns:
    true if the book is questionable
  - getDriverName
```
String getDriverName()
```
    Calculated field: The name of the name, which could be helpful to distinguish similar Books available through 2 BookDrivers.
