The overall structure of the ZIP file is documented here:

https://inception-project.github.io/releases/38.0/docs/user-guide.html#_export_backup_archive

The best way to get an example is to set up a simple project and then export it.

Note that the project export always contains annotation files in the binary `.ser` format
and these are the only ones that are also used when importing the ZIP again.

The project export *may* contain a secondary format, but that is *not* used during import.

So if you want to set up a project with (pre-annotated) documents using an exported project
as a template, you'd:

- first import the project ZIP via the remote API (without documents)
- then use the remote API to import the documents

When you use the remote API to import documents, they can be in any of the formats that are
supported for import. See

https://inception-project.github.io/releases/38.0/docs/user-guide.html#sect_formats
