Supported file formats
Lists supported input and output file formats. Input file formats specify which file a back-end can read from. Output file formats specify which file a back-end can write to.
The response to this request is an object listing all available input and output file formats separately with their parameters and additional data. This endpoint does not include the supported secondary web services.
Note: Format names and parameters MUST be fully aligned with the GDAL codes if available, see GDAL Raster Formats and OGR Vector Formats. It is OPTIONAL to support all output format parameters supported by GDAL. Some file formats not available through GDAL may be defined centrally for openEO. Custom file formats or parameters MAY be defined.
The format descriptions MUST describe how the file formats relate to data cubes. Input file formats MUST describe how the files have to be structured to be transformed into data cubes. Output file formats MUST describe how the data cubes are stored at the back-end and how the resulting file structure looks like.
Back-ends MUST NOT support aliases, for example it is not allowed to support geotiff instead of gtiff. Nevertheless, openEO Clients MAY translate user input for convenience (e.g. translate geotiff to gtiff). Also, for a better user experience the back-end can specify a title.
Format names MUST be accepted in a case insensitive manner throughout the API.
Response
An object with containing all input and output format separately. For each property input and output an object is defined where the file format names are the property keys and the property values are objects that define a title, supported parameters and related links.
