PandaSuite Converter — Extract Interactive cmi5 Courses
PandaSuite produces cmi5/xAPI packages where interactive content lives in `pandasuite.com/api/folders/get_all.js`. The file sets `window.get_all_data = JSON.parse("[{...}]")` with the complete scene graph: folders → units → resources. Text resources use Adobe TextLayout Framework (TLF) XML. SCORM Converter's `PandaSuiteParser` walks the entire graph and decodes TLF XML to extract text in display order.

Frequently asked questions about PandaSuite PandaSuite Interactive
How do I know if my course is a PandaSuite cmi5 export?▼
PandaSuite packages contain a `cmi5.xml` manifest at the ZIP root (or under a subdirectory) plus a `pandasuite.com/api/folders/get_all.js` file. Our parser auto-detects both signals. PandaSuite is the only authoring tool we've encountered that ships cmi5-native (as opposed to SCORM-wrapped) content widely.
What's the difference between cmi5 and regular SCORM?▼
cmi5 is the next-generation e-learning standard that combines xAPI flexibility with SCORM-style content packaging. It uses a `cmi5.xml` manifest instead of `imsmanifest.xml`, and content statements go to a Learning Record Store (LRS) instead of an LMS. Our converter treats both formats transparently.
Will the parser extract PandaSuite interactive components?▼
Yes. The `window.get_all_data` payload contains the full scene graph: folders, units, resources (text/image/audio). Our parser walks the entire tree and emits one Markdown slide per ViewFolder. Adobe TextLayout Framework (TLF) XML text is decoded to clean Markdown.
What about PandaSuite videos and audio?▼
Audio resources are extracted as URLs (S3 references typically). PDF/Word exports list them as audio references with the original filename. Markdown exports include the URL. Video content follows the same pattern.
Does PandaSuite cmi5 send data to my LMS?▼
Original PandaSuite cmi5 packages send statements to an LRS at runtime, but we only convert the static content — your LMS integration is unaffected. The converted document is for offline reading, translation, archival, or AI training data, not for runtime LMS replacement.
