This pair of addons allow you to import and export to and from the JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) format. They can export most of the Gramps genealogical data.

Installation

Install both the JSON Export and JSON Import addons.

Usage

Export JSON

You can export most of the Gramps genealogical data through an JSON Export using the Export Assistant. This does not export other Gramps data, such as bookmarks, researcher information, etc.

• From the menu select: Family Trees > Export...
• From the Saving your data wizard dialog select Next
• From the Choose the output format wizard dialog select the JSON Export option and then select Next twice
• From the Select save file wizard dialog either name the file and default location or change it and then select Next
• From the Final confirmation wizard dialog select Apply and then Close

Import JSON

You can also import the previously exported Gramps genealogical data via JSON import.

• It is recommended that you create an new Family Tree before import.
• From the menu select: Family Trees > Import...
• From the Import Family Tree file dialog selector, select your previously created JSON file (eg: Untitled_1.json) and then select the Import button
