What is the difference between .emd and .json?

Name: Elna Xquisit Embroidery Data; JavaScript Object Notation File
Extension: .emd; .json
Category: Embroidery; Developer
Developer: Elna; Douglas Crockford
Description: 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.; A JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) file is a lightweight, text-based, human-readable format used for data interchange. It is designed to store and transport data. JSON files use the .json file extension and are structured as a collection of name/value pairs, where the names are strings, and the values can be strings, numbers, arrays, or even other JSON objects. This format is widely used in web applications for exchanging data between a client and a server, as well as in configuration files.
MIME Type: application/emd; application/json
Sample: sample.emd; sample.json

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.
