This app is intended for Philips Hue developers. It eases the extraction of the bridge configuration in JSON (API v1 format). The JSON string can then be sent by email or message, or opened within another app. One use case could be, in a support context, to get the bridge configuration from a customer experiencing troubles with an application. I hope this helps!
