To examine, and optionally modify, your exported application content before you re-import it. For this purpose, you export your Workbench content in the public format described in Public JSON Formats for Exported Content.

Backup and restore format. Use this format if you need only to back up your application without examining or modifying it before you restore it. For complete backup and restore, use the export_site and import_site scripts. Oracle recommends that you not edit data that you export using export_site. For more information about these scripts, see Backing up an application from the Workbench.
