Request URI: /path/to/some/resource/fcr:export

Methods: GET, POST

Exporting large trees of resources may fail because of memory limitations.  Exporting 250,000 simple objects (only the system-defined properties) was successful and resulted in a 400MB export file, but exporting larger sets of resources failed.  To work around this limitation, you can segment your repository (for example, into several top-level directories each containing 250,000 or fewer resources) and export each top-level directory as a separate export file.

Objects are exported and imported relative to the request URI path given. E.g., if you run:

curl "http://localhost:8080/rest/path/to/resource/fcr:export" > export.xml
curl -X POST --data-binary "@export.xml" "http://localhost:8080/rest/somewhere/else"

The resource will be imported to http://localhost:8080/rest/somewhere/else/resource.

 

  fcr:export Retrieve serialized form of a resource and its subtree.

Request Headers:

 Export formats; the exact formats available depend on the repository configuration.

The available export formats for an object are available as properties of nodes, e.g. this node exports jcr/xml:

<> <http://fedora.info/definitions/v4/rest-api#exportsAs> <./fcr:export?format=jcr/xml> ;

 

Example:

curl "http://localhost:8080/rest/path/to/some/resource/fcr:export"
