# Preface : Nilkins Export

## Presentation

Nilkins Export, shortened nkExport, is the component taking care of importing / exporting different data formats. It offers a centered data representation API, abstracted as a node tree, to allow users to save and load application data without worrying about the underlying data format. Supported formats are currently :

- Json

By using the component, you ensure that you have one way of expressing your data structure. Exporting or importing from one format or another is a matter of changing one line to use the right exporter. This aspect will be demonstrated in the tutorial series offered.
