OpenJudge.net API (ojapi)
OpenJudge.net API (ojapi) is a cloud-based, open api service for automated assignments grading in programming-intensive educational trainings such as courses on data structures, algorithm design, and problem solving. It provides various (programming + human) interfaces for courseware systems and lecturers to set up programming tasks, commit solutions for automated grading, and collect instant grading reports in their desirable formats.
The service-side OpenJudge.net API Engine (ojapi-engine) provides efficient and reliable means for hosting programming tasks as well as grading students' solutions. The OpenJudge.net API Engine eliminates, by taking over, the risk of having to execute potentially malicious program code in students' solution works from inside the educators' own IT infrastructures.
The client-side OpenJudge.net API Toolkit (ojapi-toolkit) offers a rich collection of CLI tools, API libraries (for proprietary solutions) and plugin modules (for popular CMS systems) that can be integrated into various education scenarios and (or) courseware systems. These tools considerably alleviate the burden of building an assignment grading system, or courseware, from scratch.
