Suggestion: export to json

Open paper42 opened this issue 6 years ago • 1 comments

Json is now widely used and it is very readable, much more than csv. I am not sure if in Java, but in most programming languages support for this is built in the default library. For example in Python you call json.dumps(data) and it returns string formated as json.

Hi,

thanks for your suggestion.

The reason why I choosed CSV is that for most of "common" users, CSV can be edited in a spreadsheet. CSV import/export has two goals for me: have some saves of the db, and be able to import a lot of reviews when using the app for the first time.

Json is also widely used, but only by developers. But I agree with you, it can be in a lot of cases more practical to have json saves. If I find a little time for this, maybe I'll implement Json as a second import/export format.
