A corpus format defines how a corpus is saved on disk. For the use with this library some formats were specifically developed:
- Default :class:`audiomate.corpus.io.DefaultReader` / :class:`audiomate.corpus.io.DefaultWriter`
- Broadcast :class:`audiomate.corpus.io.BroadcastReader`
Furthermore there exist downloaders, readers and writers for other formats or specific datasets. For a list of available downloaders, readers and writers check :ref:`io_implementations`.
