Converting models between modellers

It is possible to convert down-stream from bpmn_io to ECA Core Modeller. But upstream conversion from the core modeller to bpmn_io is not possible.

The reason behind this: the core modeller only requires yaml configuration which is a list of events, conditions and actions together with their configuration values. The bpmn_io modeller, however, requires proprietary XML data to represent the objects and their location in the canvas.

It might technically be possible to implement such upstream conversion, but the canvas will then not look pretty, and it will then be cumbersome for the user to arrange the objects in a way that makes the model usable.

We have thought about such conversion before, but haven't given it any high priority so far. But we would certainly support and review contributions, if anyone else wanted to get started on this earlier.

Thank you very much for your kind explanation.
