## Export and Use

You can use either JSON or CSV to export the Data Entry type. See the full [Data Entry JSON Specification](https://github.com/UniversalDataTool/udt-format/blob/master/interfaces/data_entry.md) for how the Data Entry JSON is formatted.

Each JSON sample looks like the following:

```javascript
{
    "pdfUrl": "https://...", // or imageUrl, document etc.
    
    "annotation": { "FieldName": "..." }
}
```
