This is only for keeping notes on some of my findings regarding Moodle XML.

Minimum XML

Other than stated at Quedoc's Moodle XML documentation (Minimum requirements) the minimum working Moodle XML file seems to be the following (short answer question). It gets imported using the default import settings.

Missing fields are populated with the default values during import which can be seen by re-exporting the question(s).

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <quiz>

 <question type="shortanswer">
   <name>
     <text>Minimum question</text>
   </name>
   <questiontext>
     <text>What's the minimum XML required for import?</text>
   </questiontext>
   <answer fraction="100">
     <text>This here!</text>
   </answer>

</question> </quiz>

Re-export

This is how the question looks after exporting it again:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <quiz>

 <question type="shortanswer">
   <name>
     <text>Minimum question</text>
   </name>
   <questiontext format="moodle_auto_format">
     <text>What's the minimum XML required for import?</text>
   </questiontext>
