+ZOO.Format
+==========
+
+Base class for format reading/writing a variety of formats.
+
+Properties

+.. list-table::
+   :widths: 30 50
+   :header-rows: 1
+
+   * - NAME
+     - DESCRIPTION
+   * - :ref:`options <options>`
+     - {Object} A reference to options passed to the constructor.
+   * - :ref:`externalProjection <externalProjection>`
+     - {ZOO.Projection} When passed a externalProjection and internalProjection, the format will reproject the geometries it reads or writes.
+   * - :ref:`internalProjection <internalProjection>`
+     - {ZOO.Projection} When passed a externalProjection and internalProjection, the format will reproject the geometries it reads or writes.
+   * - :ref:`data <data>`
+     - {Object} When keepData is true, this is the parsed string sent to read.
+   * - :ref:`keepData <keepData>`
+     - {Object} Maintain a reference (data) to the most recently read data.
