Which file format is used to exchange ArchiMate® data?

The ArchiMate Model Exchange File Format (AMEFF) is supported. This standard from The Open Group facilitates the exchange of ArchiMate® content between tools that support the AMEFF.

ARIS can import and export ArchiMate® content from other tools by using the AMEFF for ArchiMate 2.1 as well as the AMEFF for ArchiMate 3.0.

Though modeling in ArchiMate 2.1 is still supported by ARIS, AMEFF is available only to import and export content from and into ARIS when ArchiMate 3.0 is used.
