In addition to exporting either a single tiddler or all tiddlers, you can 
use the $:/AdvancedSearch filter tab to export *selected* tiddlers.  Next 
to the filter input field are three buttons (two are hidden until you enter 
some input).  The down-arrow provides a list of pre-defined filters.  The X 
resets the filter input.  The "half box with up arrow" is the *export* 
button.  Clicking it gives a popup list of formats, including "JSON file". 
 Choose a format to export the selected tiddlers to a file.

You can then drop that file onto any open TiddlyWiki and import the 
tiddlers in the usual way.

By the way... in 
TWClassic, http://www.tiddlytools.com/#ExportTiddlersPlugin used an export 
file format that became known as "PureStore", which was just the "store 
area" portion of the TWC file (i.e., just the tiddler data, without all the 
TW core run-time code).  Because this format is *identical* to the store 
area used in full TWClassic files, they are able to be imported directly 
into another file by using the TWClassic "Backstage" import interface (or 
my ImportTiddlersPlugin... which was the original importer, even before the 
TWCore functionality.)

enjoy,
