A cross-stitch chart saved as JSON by an embroidery chart app; one design object holding the canvas size, the cross grid size and every cross's colour and position. The field names are transliterated Ukrainian (VushuvkaName, Hrestiks), and the file starts with a JSON array opening.
emd files are digitized embroidery files created by Elna Xquisit software. These files contain machine-readable instructions for an embroidery machine to stitch out a design. They are used to create unique patterns and decorations on fabric.

What a conversion keeps

Stitches
Every stitch is kept at its exact position. Nothing is re-digitised.
Colours
Kept when the target stores them. DST stores no colours, only where each colour changes, so your machine asks for the threads.
Trims, jumps and stops
Kept, and written the way the target machine expects them.
Objects and lettering
Design programs keep shapes and text as objects. A machine file only holds stitches, so objects become stitches.
