# Data import and export in Postman

Postman can import and export Postman data, including collections, environments, globals, and data dumps. Postman can also import non-Postman data, such as API definitions and data from other API clients, to help you unify your API development workflow.

* Use [Import data into Postman](/docs/getting-started/importing-and-exporting/importing-data/) for the complete import workflow, including Postman-native files, API specifications, Swagger APIs, cURL commands, and Git repositories.

* Use [Migrate from other API clients](/docs/getting-started/importing-and-exporting/migrate-from-other-clients/) when you're moving from SoapUI, Hoppscotch, Insomnia, or Thunder Client with the **Migrate to Postman** wizard.

* Use [Export data from Postman](/docs/getting-started/importing-and-exporting/exporting-data/) to export collections and environments as JSON files, or to create a bulk data export with collections, environments, globals, and header presets.

* If you need specification-first guidance, go to [Import a specification](/docs/design-apis/specifications/import-a-specification/).

* If you want to automate export and import workflows in CI/CD pipelines, see [Postman CLI](/docs/postman-cli/postman-cli-overview/).

> **Tip**
>
> You can use the [Postman VS Code extension](/docs/reference/vs-code-extension/overview/) to import collections and environments into Postman, and import cURL commands as new requests.
