Description

For projects where you can't access the qualtrics API, it would be helpful to have a function that can read the qualtrics survey output. Although I think having API access is the gold standard here (and is my preference), this becomes a challenge if a project is hosted by another organization where getting an API key would also require getting credential for the hosting organization's system.

I'm proposing a function similiar to read_survey() in that it reads a downloaded .qsf file instead of downloading data from the API.

In this case, the survey can be downloaded on the survey page as seen in the screenshot below. The result is downloading a .qsf file that is in JSON and has information about the survey (and can actually be loaded into qualtrics to import the survey). getting survey export

Research direction
Study the existing read survey() function and the .qsf JSON format to implement a similar function that reads survey questions from a downloaded .qsf file.
