BPMN XML export support

[RJanata]

All our Confluence users do like to use draw.io in our Confluence for various diagrams. However, our analysts and architects use primarily heavier Enterprise Architect. But they'd like to use easy-to-use draw.io for initial drafts and collaboration with other non-EA users, mainly for BPMN diagrams. When the design is done, they'd like to store it in EA.

Therefore, we'd appreciate if draw.io can export its diagrams into BPMN XML format.

Thanks for considering this.

We'd like to interface with similar tools who speak BPMN XML:

• Camunda Modeler (also available as a Confluence App)
• Yaoqiang BPMN Editor

Both of those are compatible with each other (on a basic level at least, I don't know if this extends to all details) when exchanging "*.bpmn" (XML) files.

draw.io status as of April 2025:

• import into draw.io yields no error message, but leaves a blank canvas after import
• export from draw.io is not provided at all

any updates :(?

💡 This might help:

The draw.io team has explicitly stated they do not intend to support export to BPMN 2 XML. This was confirmed by @davidjgraph in issue #1857, referencing issue #1238 for further context.
