Abstract

Choosing a file format always comes with tradeoffs. Some file formats are optimized for machine consumption, while others may be optimized for human readability. Proposed herein is a new file format, referred to as a "multi" file format that seeks to reduce tradeoffs and support more granular specificity by supporting multiple file formats within a single file structure with supported nesting. The multi (".multi") file format allows a user to define the file type that is intended for a specific block of the file, providing the benefits of each supported type at the same time.
