Maple has support for a wide variety of file formats encoding many different forms of data. These include documents, tabular and spreadsheet data, raster graphics, 2-D and 3-D vector graphics, and audio and video data.

The Import and Export commands can be used for programmatically reading from and writing to many of these formats.

Additionally the FileTools package contains many commands suitable for directly reading from and writing to plaintext or binary files, including compressed files.

For an alphabetical listing of supported formats, see Formats,All.

For a listing of formats grouped by the types of Maple objects they can encode, see Formats,ByType.
