{{description>Easily import/export Unity splines with Curvy Splines' toolbar tool. Supports SVG & JSON formats. Enhance your project workflow with advanced actions.}}
====== Import/Export splines ======

Curvy Splines allows to import splines from, and export them to other formats. The tool that allows this is available in the toolbar, [[:documentation:toolbar:start#import_or_export_splines|here]].

For now, the supported formats are:
  * [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scalable_Vector_Graphics|SVG]]. Support for this format is subject to the same restrictions than Unity's support for SVG files.
  * [[https://json.org/|JSON]].

The default wrapper for the splines is defined in the FluffyUnderware.Curvy.ImportExport.SerializedCurvySpline class. Feel free to head to the [[https://api.curvyeditor.com|API Reference]] to learn more about this class.

If you need any format that is not supported by Curvy Splines, please [[:contact|let us know]] and we will try to add it to the package if possible.

<note>Import and export of [[documentation:splines:metadata|MetaData]] is not supported for now</note>
