+        .SYNOPSIS
+        Exports JSON data to a file.
+
+        .DESCRIPTION
+        Converts PowerShell objects to JSON format and writes them to one or more files.
+        Supports various formatting options including indentation types, sizes, and compact output.
+        Can accept both PowerShell objects and JSON strings as input.
+
+        .EXAMPLE
+        Export-Json -InputObject $myObject -Path 'output.json'
+
+        Exports a PowerShell object to output.json with default formatting.
+
+        .EXAMPLE
+        Export-Json -InputObject $data -Path 'config.json' -IndentationType Spaces -IndentationSize 2
+
+        Exports data to config.json with 2-space indentation.
+
+        .EXAMPLE
+        Export-Json -JsonString $jsonText -Path 'data.json' -Compact
+
+        Exports a JSON string to data.json in compact format.
+
+        .EXAMPLE
+        $objects | Export-Json -Path 'output-{0}.json'
+
+        Exports multiple objects to numbered files via pipeline.
+
+        .EXAMPLE
+        Export-Json -InputObject $config -Path 'settings.json' -IndentationType Tabs -Force
+
+        Exports configuration to settings.json with tab indentation, overwriting if it exists.
