Issue #4053 has been updated by Jeff McCune.

Subject changed from better tools for deserializing node groups, classes, nodes 
from external sources to Dashboard should provide an API to insert and extract 
data

>From the PS conversation: "There should be an API to facilitate import / 
>export of data into and out of the dashboard."


Additional design decision will be necessary to implement.

A third party tool, external to the dashboard will provide import export 
functionality using the API.

As an example:

problem:
  it is cumbersome to specify initial data in the dashboard (groups, nodes, 
classes).
  linux sysadmins would rather work with configuration files (text) than GUIs

it would be great if I could write a yaml file to represent my group data and 
import it into the dashboard.

<pre>
groups:
  a:
    x:1
    y:1
    z:1
    classes:
      - one
      - two
    b:
    x:2
classes
- one
nodes:
  node1: 
    :classes
      - one
    :groups
- two
</pre>

maybe this is already at least partially solved by the restful API?
