[[File:ExportRaw-option-addon-50.png|thumb|right|450px|The {{man label|[ ]Raw Export}} option checkbox on the {{man label|Choose the output format}} page]]
The {{man label|Raw Export}} adds an option to the Export Assistant feature. The option dumps your SQLite3 (''default'' database engine since Gramps 5.1) or BSDDB (Gramps database; into a raw Python object representation format for low-level manipulation.
This uses the object string conversion representation returned from Python's [https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#repr <code>repr()</code>] built-in builtin function. It is similar to the [https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#func-str <code>str()</code>] function but intended for internal use rather than display. It can be useful for printing an element regardless of its type.
Raw output has been used for byte-wise comparisons to make sure that different import/export functions process the data correctly.
