SurveyJS (JSON data) API for Python

surveyjs (Python)

SurveyJS (JSON Form Builder) data API for Python.

For information about the SurveyJS project, see https://surveyjs.io

Introduction

surveyjs is a Python package which loads and transforms SurveyJS Creator JSON (survey schema) and Form JSON (submission data) into usable Python objects.

Its main aim is to provide easy access to a SurveyJS Form's questions (fields, layout elements, etc.) also captured as Python objects, which makes this API very versatile and usable.

Notes about terms:

• SurveyCreator: The Survey Creator (form builder) schema which is the design of a Form.
• SurveyForm: A filled-in Survey Form, aka Form response, submission.
• Question: Input (field) and layout elements in SurveyJS (Creator and Form). Question is not a semantic term for a layout element (e.g. panel), but we follow the SurveyJS convention of calling all components "questions".

Question types: Source code (file prefix question): https://github.com/surveyjs/survey-library/tree/master/packages/survey-core/src

Features

• Compatible with Python 3.8 and later
• Constructor of the SurveyCreator and SurveyForm class only requires the JSON (string or dict).
• Get a SurveyForm object's Questions as usable Python objects e.g. datetime, boolean, list (for checkbox), dict (for matrix) etc.
• Support for all SurveyJS question types
• Open source (MIT License)
