What is the reasoning for removing the ability to export to JSON?

What is the reasoning for removing the ability to export to JSON?

The feature is incomplete because it's possible to export as JSON but not import back, and this might be confusing. But also we already have a computer-friendly format when exporting as RAW, and maintaining two such formats doesn't make sense. If someone needs the notes as JSON, it's trivial to parse the RAW format and create JSON from it.

Also I will only make this change once the plugin system is ready, so it will be possible to put the feature back as a plugin.

Hi Laurent, Joplin seems to be on version 2.1 by now. Would it be possible to see an updated roadmap?
