# Import/Export as JSON

{% hint style="info" %}
This is not the only means of export! See [Tools: Import/Export UI](/wolvenkit/wolvenkit-app/tools/tools-import-export.md) for documentation of the other.
{% endhint %}

Converting files **to** JSON will serialize[^1] their content to a .json file in your project's `raw` folder. 

Importing them back will re-create the corresponding file under `archive`.

This is easiest way to [quickly change paths in projects](https://wiki.redmodding.org/cyberpunk-2077-modding/modding-guides/items-equipment/moving-and-renaming-in-existing-projects) and a perquisite for several modding workflows.

### Import as JSON

This option is **in the right-click menu**:

{% hint style="info" %}
JSON import will be available for any file in your `raw` folder with the extension `.json`. **However**, if the file hasn't been created via "`Convert to JSON`", the import will fail.&#x20;
