Impex contributes extendable Import / Export functionality to WordPress

== Description ==

Impex is a Wordpress plugin that allows you to import and export data from and to your WordPress installation.

The primary goal for Impex is to provide a **true Open Source Wordpress Plugin** for importing/exporting your Wordpress data (including data from third party plugins/themes).

**This plugin is in a early (but working) stage.**

Impex provides : 

* Wordpress hooks for third party plugins to expose their own data to Impex Import / Export without being dependant to Impex.

* a (semi) streaming architecture for large data exports/imports.

* Definition of configurable import/export profiles defining data providers to use and configuration of these data providers

  * A user interface for importing / exporting data via Impex WP admin screen

* the Impex API is designed to support resumable/abortable imports and exports.

* Impex provides also a REST API seamlessy integrated into Wordpress

* Impex is explicitly designed for use in managed Wordpress instances

* Impex development relies heavily on PHP unit testing its feature set to be stable and consistent.

* a [CLI](https://ionos-wordpress.github.io/cm4all-wp-impex/impex-cli.html) for importing/exporting data via Impex REST interface.
  The Impex CLI can be used as alternative to the Impex WP admin screen. 

**Your help is welcome !!**

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Where can I find the Impex documentation ? =

Documentation is in a very early stage and is not yet complete.

It's available at the [Impex Plugin GitHub pages](https://ionos-wordpress.github.io/cm4all-wp-impex/)

Please file bugs and feature requests at the [Impex Plugin GitHub issues](https://github.com/IONOS-WordPress/cm4all-wp-impex/issues)

  * import/export Wordpress posts/pages **including attachments/uploads** and custom post types

  * import/export configurable database tables (can be used export data from third party plugins/themes)

  * import/export configurable wp_options (can be used export data from third party plugins/themes)

* Impex imports and exports data as plain files directly to your local filesystem so that you can operate on the exported data (and attachments) without hassle.

* Impex supports snapshots to allow you to rollback to a previous state of your data without downloading the whole data to your local machine

= Whats planned for the future ? =

* developer documentation integrating your plugin / theme into Impex 

* a intuitive user interface allowing to configure import/export profiles and configuration of the used data providers based on React and JSON Schema

* user documentation 

* monthly releases
