This is the working page for designing the JSON specification for Wikisoba Mark II.
Working assumption
The JSON for any one "slide" (adopting the term in Mark I) reads as
[configuration array, data array]
The configuration array starts by giving the "slide type", which would be 1 for questions, out of about five types in all, the other types being ways of including supporting material. The array will have about a dozen items, including some the legacy of Moodle export as in the JSON-GIFT sample.
Choice-cloze type
This is to be a versatile question type, including a number of typical multiple choice and missing text (cloze) formats. Its data array will look like
[S-array, T-array]
Here the S-array will be
[S(1), S(2), ..., S(N + 1)]
and the S(i) will be strings, possibly null, subject to JSON constraints[1] and the constraint that S(N + 1) is either null or ends in a terminating punctuation mark.[2]
