###Exporting ( after adding and enabling the addon )

select the mesh to export go to File > Export > JSON (.json)

###Faces

exports vertices, normals, uvs and colors based on Object's polygons so faces are 0,1,2,3,4...

###Animation & Armature

only exports first armature in scene, all actions are exported
