Could you please provide us with some examples of Joplin exports? We are specifically interested in supporting the raw/jex format.

"Joplin can export to the JEX format (Joplin Export file), which is a tar file that can contain multiple notes, notebooks, etc. This is a lossless format in that all the notes, but also metadata such as geo-location, updated time, tags, etc. are preserved. This format is convenient for backup purposes and can be re-imported into Joplin. A "raw" format is also available. This is the same as the JEX format except that the data is saved to a directory and each item represented by a single file." https://github.com/laurent22/joplin#exporting

As safe notes don't support images, the image along with other metadata like geolocation will be lost.
