+Export Plugin
+=============
+
+The ``export`` plugin lets you get data from the items and export the content to
+a ``json`` file.
+
+Configuration
+-------------
+To configure the plugin, make a ``export:`` section in your configuration
+file. The default options are::
+
+  export:
+    default_format: json
+    json:
+      formatting:
+        ensure_ascii: False
+        indent: 4
+        separators: [',' , ': ']
+        sort_keys: true
+
+- **default_format**: Choose the format of the exported content.
+  Supports json only for now.
+
+Each format have their own options.
+
+The ``json`` formatting uses the `json`_ standard library options.
+Using custom options overwrites all options at the same level.
+The default options used here are:
+
+- **ensure_ascii**: All non-ASCII characters are escaped with `\uXXXX`, if true.
+
+- **indent**: The number of spaces for indentation.
+
+- **separators**: A ``(item_separator, dict_separator)`` tuple
+
+- **sort_keys**: Sorts the keys of the json
+
+.. _json: https://docs.python.org/2/library/json.html#basic-usage
+
+Using
+-----
+
+Enable the ``export`` plugin (see :ref:`using-plugins` for help) and then add a
+``export`` section to your :doc:`configuration file </reference/config>`
+
+To use, you can enter a :doc:`query </reference/query>` to get the data from
+your library::
+
+    $ beet export beatles
+
+If you just want to see specific properties you can use the
+``--include-keys`` option to filter them. The argument is a
+comma-separated list of simple glob patterns where ``*`` matches any
+string. For example::
+
+    $ beet export -i 'title,mb*' beatles
+
+Will only show the ``title`` property and all properties starting with
+``mb``. You can add the ``-i`` option multiple times to the command
+line.
+
+Additional command-line options include:
+
+* ``--library`` or ``-l``: Show data from the library database instead of the
+  files' tags.
+
+* ``--output`` or ``-o``: Path for an output file. If not informed, will print
+  the data in the console.
+
+* ``--append``: Appends the data to the file instead of writing.
