I see that no iOS system apps can accept my data as URL. Even if other apps exist that can receive data from my app in such a way, I cannot rely on third party apps on iOS. Then only option is native code, but I am not going to create native code I think. Furthermore the app can import, so the user would go through an asymmetrical user experience. Here's why the text-import/export feature could be useful, I think no other options are left to share/save/backup user data from my app (json array of elements).
