OPScript: Write Surveys Like Structured Code

For serious researchers and consultants, traditional survey builders are a bottleneck. Drag-and-drop interfaces are slow, error-prone, and limit your ability to manage complex logic. Public-Op introduces OPScript, a specialized survey markdown language designed specifically to let you write questionnaires with the speed and precision of software development.

Why Write Surveys as Code?

When you write surveys as structured code, you gain total control over your research design. OPScript features built-in version control, syntax highlighting, and an automated linter that catches structural errors before you deploy. You can draft, edit, and reorganize hundreds of questions in minutes instead of clicking through endless option tabs.

Unmatched Speed and Scale

Drafting a study using OPScript is up to 5x faster than using traditional visual builders. Defining a new question is as simple as writing it down. OPScript automatically parses your question structures, registers options, sets default score weights, and generates clean database variables instantly.

Native Multi-Language Integration

In OPScript, you can define translations right next to the original questions or automatically translate the entire study structure with a single click. The unified schema ensures that no matter how many languages you translate your questionnaire into, the exported dataset remains perfectly aligned under stable variable names.
