json- JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) is a standard text-based format for representing structured data based on JavaScript object syntax. It is commonly used for transmitting data in web applications (e.g., sending some data from the server to the client, so it can be displayed on a web page, or vice versa)

CSV- A CSV is a comma-separated values file, which allows data to be saved in a tabular format. CSVs look like a spreadsheet but with a . csv extension. CSV files can be used with most any spreadsheet program, such as Microsoft Excel or Google Spreadsheets

Step 6

Next select the type of data that you would like to export. There are three choices:

Anonymized- Provides the option of exporting an anonymized data set. MetaData and all feilds marked as 'private' on your form will not be exported. This is a great option for protecting personal data as long as you have marked all questions which ask for personal data as private

Raw- Provides the option of exporting all the data that has been collected against a survey, including MetaData and all response feilds. Great care should be taken with this sort of data.

Humanized- Similar to raw data, but with transalated responses and question lookups added
