## Key Features Implemented

### Export Features
1. **Multiple Formats**: JSON (single file) and CSV (three files)
2. **Advanced Filtering**:
   - Confidence threshold (0-100%)
   - Link status (confirmed, suggested, rejected, auto-confirmed)
   - Domain-based filtering
3. **Content Selection**: Choose which data types to export
4. **Metadata Inclusion**: Confidence scores, sources, strategies
5. **Export Actions**:
   - Direct file download
   - Copy JSON to clipboard
   - Export summary preview
6. **Shareable Format**: Complete data packages with version info

### Import Features
1. **Format Support**: JSON and CSV files
2. **File Selection**: Drag-and-drop or click to select
3. **Validation**: Full schema validation with error reporting
4. **Conflict Detection**: Identifies existing items
5. **Import Modes**:
   - Merge: Combine with existing data
   - Replace: Overwrite all existing data
6. **Conflict Resolution**:
   - Skip existing items
   - Overwrite with imported data
   - Merge metadata only
7. **Configuration Options**:
   - Validate references
   - Preserve timestamps
   - Update project IDs
8. **Preview**: Review changes before applying
9. **Async Support**: Handle backend operations

## Data Formats

### JSON Export Format
```json
{
  "version": "1.0",
  "exportedAt": "ISO-8601-timestamp",
  "projectId": "project-id",
  "exportedBy": "user-id",
  "metadata": {
    "totalLinks": 5,
    "totalConcepts": 3,
    "totalProjections": 8,
    "confidence": {
      "min": 0.6,
      "max": 1.0,
      "average": 0.88
    }
  },
  "equivalenceLinks": [...],
  "canonicalConcepts": [...],
  "canonicalProjections": [...]
}
```

### CSV Export Format
Three separate CSV files:
- `equivalence-links.csv` - Links with confidence and strategies
- `canonical-concepts.csv` - Concepts with domains and metadata
- `canonical-projections.csv` - Projections with confirmation status

## Integration Examples

### Basic Export
```typescript
import { EquivalenceExport } from "@/components/graph/equivalence";

<EquivalenceExport
  equivalenceLinks={links}
  canonicalConcepts={concepts}
  canonicalProjections={projections}
  projectId="proj-1"
  userId="user-1"
/>
```

### Basic Import
```typescript
import { EquivalenceImport } from "@/components/graph/equivalence";

<EquivalenceImport
  existingLinks={currentLinks}
  existingConcepts={currentConcepts}
  existingProjections={currentProjections}
  projectId="proj-1"
  onApplyImport={async (links, concepts, projections) => {
    await api.updateEquivalenceData({links, concepts, projections});
  }}
/>
```

## Type Safety

All components and utilities are fully typed with TypeScript:
- Props interfaces for both components
- Export package type definition
- Import options type definition
- Zod schemas for runtime validation
- All error handling is typed

## Performance

- **Serialization/Deserialization**: O(n) where n = number of items
- **CSV Parsing**: Optimized line-by-line with quoted field handling
- **Validation**: Fast Zod schema validation
- **Merging**: Efficient set-based conflict detection
- **Large Datasets**: >10MB may need streaming/batching

## Browser Compatibility

- All modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge)
- Requires File API for import
- Requires Blob API for export
- No external dependencies for core functionality

## Testing Coverage

### Unit Tests (31 tests, all passing)

**Serialization (7 tests)**
- JSON serialization and deserialization
- CSV serialization and deserialization
- Roundtrip conversion
- Data integrity preservation

**Validation (3 tests)**
- Package schema validation
- Import options validation
- Error message generation

**Merging (5 tests)**
- Merge mode operation
- Replace mode operation
- Conflict handling (skip, overwrite)
- Project ID updates

**Summary (4 tests)**
- Count calculations
- Confidence statistics
- Domain breakdown
- Strategy breakdown

**Additional Coverage (12 tests)**
- CSV line parsing with escaping
- Array handling
- Status counting
- Multiple item scenarios

## Security Considerations

1. **Client-Side Validation**: All data validated before processing
2. **Project Isolation**: Project IDs explicitly managed
3. **Type Safety**: Full TypeScript enforcement
4. **Error Handling**: Graceful error messages without exposing internals
5. **Backend Validation**: Always validate again on server
6. **Audit Trail**: Log all import/export operations

## Limitations & Future Enhancements

### Current Limitations
- CSV requires multiple files
- No built-in compression
- No streaming for very large exports

### Planned Enhancements
- Streaming import for large files
- Compression support (gzip)
- Differential exports (delta)
- Scheduled automated exports
- Visual diff viewer
- Batch import API
- Extended format support
