Schema

Description of exam schema.

Exam files use the .json extension. JSON, or JavaScript Object Notation is a data format that is supported by many programming languages. Files must use this extension and adhere to the schema defined below.

Exam Maker allows users to create and share exams without knowing this schema. However, exams can be created in any text editor.
