Formats

All the strange file formats that data is stored in.

Categories

I sort each format in one of the following categories to make it more easy to make sense of them. Listed in order from most to least useful.

• Exchange: Format supported by many programs and is often used to move data between programs.
• Immediate: Format made for optimal loading directly into the game.
• Game: Immediate formats used in existing games.
• Obsolete: Old format no longer in common use.
• Native: The default way a program save it's data.
