Exporting a Record

Any data that you enter into Kora can be exported to your local computer. Any records will be downloaded as a file. You are able to download the files in three different formats: a zip file, a JSON file, and an XML file.

File Types Available for Export

There are three types of file types that you are able to export your Kora records as: a zip file, a JSON file, and an XML file. What follows are descriptions of these file types and links to further reading.

  • The Export Record Files option downloads Kora records onto your computer as a zip file. It's important to note that this will only download files entered for a record such as images, documents, audio files, etc. Any records without digital files attached to it will not appear in the folder.

  • The Export JSON file type downloads Kora records onto your computer as a JSON file. A JSON refers to the JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) format, which is a standard data interchange format. JSON files are text-based, machine-readable, and human-readable files that can be edited using a text editor. For more information on JSON file format, check out the JSON Wikipedia article.

  • The Export XML file type downloads Kora records onto your computer as an XML file. XML stands for Extensible Markup Language (XML). This is a markup language which generates human-readable and machine readable text files. XML files emphasize simplicity and the description of data. For more information on XML files check out the XML Wikipedia article.
