ProfExam Creator 10.2.2.495: Import questions from JSON - a new dedicated window

ProfExam Creator 10.2.2.495 ships with a new Import from JSON window - a dedicated interface for loading question content from JSON files directly into your exams. Whether you're migrating from another tool, working with AI-generated content, or building questions programmatically, this window gives you a structured, visual way to do it.

How to open it

The window is accessible in three ways:

• Keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Alt+J
• Button in the main toolbar
• File → Import JSON

What the window includes

The window is split into two panels. The left side is a full-featured JSON editor with syntax highlighting and a wrap mode toggle. The right side shows a live preview - parse your JSON and immediately see the full exam structure, question types, difficulty levels, and answers before importing anything.

A toolbar across the top gives you quick access to all actions (see the full reference below).

JSON format

The format follows a straightforward hierarchy: a root object holds a list of exams, each exam contains question sets, and each question set contains questions. Question and answer bodies accept HTML text.

Three question types are supported:

• SINGLE_CHOICE - one correct answer. Each answer has a symbol, HTML body, and is_correct flag.
• MULTIPLE_CHOICE - one or more correct answers. Same answer structure as single choice.
• TEXT - free-text answer compared against a list of accepted values. Supports ignore_case and multiple accepted variants.

Each question also supports:

• difficulty - EASY, MODERATE, or HARD
• section - section label for the question
• explanation - HTML explanation shown after answering
• answer_image, exhibits - optional media attachments

Example structure

Not sure about the format? Open the window and click the snippet button - it inserts a complete working example you can edit directly. Here it is for reference (question and answer bodies use HTML text in the real format - simplified here for readability):
