Import Code Style settings from JSON file
Before I started mucking with my JavaScript Code Style settings, I decided to export the settings to a JSON file through the Export > IntelliJ IDEA code style JSON. After I finished mucking with the settings, I wanted to revert back to what I exported, but unfortunately, it looks like you can only import XML files? I see some JSJC config, but that doesn't seem to import my config file properly. So I tried simply converting the JSON file to XML, and I ended up with an error that the scheme must have a code_scheme tag, which my converted file did not.
So how do I restore my Code Style settings from this JSON file?

Export to JSON is only supposed to be used for importing in external tools - just a way to export all settings in some readable format that can later be edited/transformed/translated into something useable by other tools. e.g. Uncrustify , AStyle , JSCS etc.
WebStorm itself can't read such settings, you can only import XML produced by Export > IntellijIDEA code style XML
Oh geez, that would've been nice to know. So you're saying I have to rebuild my settings manually...?
Yes - unless you have your previous <schema_name>.xml files available anywhere:(
Honestly, this is very ridiculous. Like building a one way cul-de-sac.
