Describe the improvement

I was working on setting up a new computer and tried to import a JSON file to winget that I exported with WingetUI only to find out the schemas are different. I'm trying to automate things so WingetUI wasn't installed yet. I think there should be an option to export to the JSON format that winget can use.

Describe how this improvement could help users.

Since the purpose is to be a UI for winget, it should have a compatible JSON import/export file to maintain interoperability. Also makes automating easier.
