# 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 (and thus evaluation) of big datasets is supported.
