Format Reference
Every data format neokapi can read and write, from the built-in engine and the Okapi bridge plugin. Select a format to read its documentation and configure its parameters live — the form mirrors the editor used in Kapi Desktop, and the YAML output is ready to drop into a project recipe. Each format has a shareable link.
Two sources, one grid. Each card is tagged by where the format comes from, and the section split (and the filter) follows the same tag:
- Built-in (57) — the native, format-aware engine. These are the faithful readers/writers maintained in neokapi itself, with bare ids such as
json,html, andxliff. - Okapi bridge (0) — filters provided by the optional Okapi bridge plugin, for compatibility with the Java Okapi Framework. Their ids carry the
okf_prefix (e.g.okf_html5,okf_openxml).
— list the registered formats from the real kapi binary, in an in-browser terminal.
