Possible implementations: json.gz, binary.gz, raw dump.

Update: you can prepare a data.mdb file to have preloaded data in your app; see FAQ.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the issue discussion and the linked FAQ entry about shipping a pre-built data.mdb file. Compare that existing approach with the requested export and import formats: json.gz, binary.gz, and raw dump. Done would require a clearly scoped decision and implementation for exporting and importing data, with the data model included if supported.
