Owner

A CV can be imported from Europass but not written back to it. Job portals across Europe accept Europass, and many tools read JSON Resume. This asks for both as export formats of a CV.

What exists today

The Europass importer (plugins/europass) reads the current JSON and the legacy XML.
cvs/<pk>/as/<format>/ (documents/urls.py:20) downloads a CV in each format the registry holds.
The Extend file formats module (plugins/file_formats, #877) is where formats are switched on.

What would change

Europass JSON and JSON Resume as two more formats of a CV, written from the CV variant: its chosen entries and personal details, not the whole record.
Each switched on under Extend file formats.

Decisions

Library first. Recommended: look for maintained writers before writing our own, and validate the output against each format's published schema in the tests.
Fields a format lacks. Recommended: leave them out and say on the download which were left out.

Checked against main at daee30b15 (2026-10-30). From the status review and feature suggestions of 2026-10-30.
