json html text xlsx csv and now xml are possible formats to use into tiddly wiki.
Also can you map objects content and fields into tiddlywiki?, I expect so but this needs to be done.

1. treat the created time as title
2. Consider children to be tagged by their parent.

Except for the tags bit does the rest work ok if using real data?
Final point, and again this might be my personal problem and not applicable to your plugin, but my JSON file has 1000 plus pages and I need a way to only import those pages that have certain tags (#ready for publish).. There is a probably some tool somewhere that would allow me to do this directly to the JSON file, but perhaps its something you want to consider for your plugin.

I think this is a case of needing to figure out what is most intuitive in terms of the end result the user would want, instead of what feels semantically the most correct. I suspect Roam users wont really want 5 pages to turn into 100 tiddlers in TW, even if we did create a parent tiddler for each page that transcluded all the tiddlers created from the bullet points.
The tricky thing is, do you turn the children into bullet points, paragraphs? You could even make that a global configuration option but then I suspect users would want to decide on a per tiddler basis...
The tag handling is also difficult because Roam doesn't really have tags, I think what we are referring to as tags are just links. So should we really be trying to create tags from [[link]] or #link? Or do we assume that the links/backlinks that will be generated are the proper representation for this?
@Saq see attached (with accompanying screenshot below from Roam interface)
@Saq. My thought was - if we turn children to just paragraphs, won't we lose all the metadata associated with it?

For this one I disagree with Yoni. It should be bullet points in TiddlyWiki as well, to stay as close as the Roam experience.
...in the spirit of staying as close as possible to Roam, to not even consider the question of tags. Whether #Title or [[Title]] these should all be converted to [[Title]] in TiddlyWiki.
Roam users: do you need to know when each bullet was added or edited? Can you imagine a situation where you might? Does Roam even let you see this information?
I think my proposal of top level item not being bullet points, but subsequent items being bullet points is best of both worlds.
how do transclusions work in Roam
Hi all,
@Yoni @Anne-LaureHere is something to play with for importing from Roam to understand what is possible, though please don't expect too much as I've only had about ten minutes to work on this.How do tags work on Roam? Does it have tags? As far as I can tell from a quick glance, #tag is actually just a link to [[tag]]should #xyz be turned into a tag on that tiddler?Regards,Saq

Hi All
My intended workflow is to draft notes in Roam, and then if I deem certain notes worthy of publish, I publish them in my public-facing TiddlyWiki.
However these "published" notes might became quite voluminous and if I update them in Roam I want them to update in my TW as well as it would be too laborious to manually maintain two versions of same notes.
It seems to me that the way this might be achievable is to do regular JSON exports from Roam, and then to import these into TW, overriding existing Tiddly's with the same name.
The challenge is as follows:
- Roam does not allow me to export pages with tag X. So I need a mechanism to filter which pages get imported into TW as the JSON file will be full of pages I dont need.
- The JSON structure is different between Roam and TW, is there a workflow to edit the JSON structure of the Roam file to make it match TW? I suppose a simple search and replace in Notepad++ ? Or is it more complex than that?
