# Import / Export

ngSurvey supports following formats to export or import forms

* [NGSurvey's JSON format](/projects/import-export/json-survey-export-import.md)
* [XLSForm](/projects/import-export/xlsform.md)

{% hint style="info" %}
As JSON is an open text based format you can edit the JSON file content using any text editor, however note that changing the JSON object variable names and ids will break the import.
{% endhint %}
