Object format

Object format

A file format that stores data as well as a set of uncompiled instructions in the form of functions, called methods. The methods being used to interpret and transform the data stored in the file into a suitable format. An extension of the concept from object oriented programming carried into a data format to offload the complexity of the interpretation of data formats onto the data format itself. This reduces the complexity of use by method interface convergence.
