Supported formats

The different file formats currently supported by RosettaSciIO are summarized here, indicating whether only reading from or also writing to the respective formats is implemented. In particular, binary file formats will usually be read-only. The lazy column specifies whether lazy loading (and thus evaluation) of big datasets is supported.

Note

We’d also like to thank the companies who have contributed to the development and support of RosettaSciIO plugins for the file formats associated with their products.
