New libquran architecture and features

[nabil ben khalifa <nabil_benkhalifa at yahoo dot fr>]

Assalamo alaykom,

A discussion has began about the future of libquran:
architecture, features, language bindings, ...  but I
think it was in the wrong thread (Quran project
maintainer) so I opend this thread with a clear
subject to discuss these matters.

Well I think that it is a good beginning but some
ideas need to be more clear, for example what do you
mean by binary xml files ?

At contrary, I think that speex is the best choice as
it is a codec for voice as is the quranic recitation.

Well I agree totally with Ahmed Ghoneim, we should
stick to the C language and he gave the arguments as
why to do so.

Are plugins really needed ? why we don't offer
compilation options so that everyone can compile
libquran with the adequate options for his platform ?

I have another suggestion: instead of using xml or
binary files, why we don't use to databases instead to
store quranic data (text, tafsir, ...) which will
facilitate access to data and searching of info
within.  We can use sqlite for example which is a very
light and portable sql database based in files, what
do you think ?
