Javascript quiz using JSON :star:

Code Climate Build Status codecov devDependencies Status

This simple project provides a clean API for rendering quiz questions with multiple choice answers. The data is supplied using valid JSON and can be retrieved from any url end point which returns the data in the desirable format (see sample data).

Each question is assigned a score, this allows for a range of scores for each question or a specific answer.
