What is a IWA File Type?

The IWA replaces the old XML-format by dividing XML documents into small binary files that can be loaded separately, which is better for iOS devices with less RAM and for sharing with iCloud. The data contained in the XML index is now encoded in the IWA binary files, which are contained in the index.zip file.

A Protobuf stream is a way to encode structured data for a more efficient exchange of data. The encoded data is compressed with Snappy compression, a widely used Google format for high compression and decompression rates. It compresses about 250 MB/s and decompresses about 500 MB/s.

The IWA format has been published with iWork '13 suite.
