I have been stressing for over a year how to upgrade 3 community and club websites with hundreds of articles. I tried JUpgrade, but it introduced instabilities into my most important website, so, having been burnt, I restored my original back to 1.5. I also even purchased a commercial "upgrade" tool, but it failed too. FINALLY, I have discovered this near-magical extension, and have upgraded two websites from 1.5 to 2.5 in about two days each. That is incredible from my experience. I am now ready to upgrade my biggest and most important website, and I now know with J2XML, that it will be a snap. Three days max. And this is after stressing and trial and erroring for over a year!! I might mention that the J2XML portion only required a few MINUTES! Yes, you have to put the menus together yourself, and make a few corrections to the image locations in a few unusual cases (I just copied the "images" folder over manually), but those are completely trivial compared to the incredible and perfect import of a) all the users, with their ID's, and b) all the articles! Amazing!
I put a lot of faith in J2XML... over 400 articles and other content... I was honestly just expecting to loose everything when I migrated from 1.5 to 2.5... I am so happy to say though that EVERYTHING copied over exactly as promised. I really REALLY appreciate free applications like this one... the guys behind it deserve donations from guys like me who get saved HUNDREDS OF HOURS of work by extensions like this one.
Thank-you.
Thank-you.
Very good and easy to use - reliable as well.
Only thing would like the option to add multiple files since I had to transfer a 200meg plus site .This feature might already exist so apologies if so.
Saved a whole heap of work when having to rebuild site Thankyou

Does exactly what it says, no muss, no fuss! I was able to import my XML user list from Joomla 1.5, solved all my problems! Thank you!
Super, verry well done. Great extention it works good and it safe me a lot of time.
So ridiculous I didn't even have to read any instructions! Just go to anything you want to export, look for the export button. If it's there, it'll handle the items. Select them, export them, then import the files in 1.6 version.
Went without a hitch for me!
I just wish it would do the menus too! But I suppose it really can't do that seeing as menus come with modules, and that's all handled so differently in 1.6.
