I have implemented an export service. Each file/directory has a new link on the JSON object called "ExportLocation". Performing a GET on that URL will download a zipped representation of that file/directory (recursively). We can get into further options if necessary, but this provides a simple starting point. Even better, the client side should be trivial to write - just expose the export link somewhere, and the browser's download manager should take care of the rest.

Example:

GET /file/C?depth=1
{
  "Children": [...],
  "ChildrenLocation": "http://localhost:8080/file/C?depth=1",
  "Directory": true,
  "ExportLocation": "http://localhost:8080/xfer/export/C.zip",
  "ImportLocation": "http://localhost:8080/xfer/C",
  ...
}

Exporting this project is performed via:

GET http://localhost:8080/xfer/export/C.zip

Sweet and simple!  I added a download link in the UI.
