What is an IWA file?

Oct 23, 2013 iWork 2013 – Productivity software suite. October 23, 2013 An all new iWork for Mac and iOS makes creating, editing and sharing documents easier than ever. IWork introduces a new, unified file format, delivering perfect document fidelity across Mac, iOS and iCloud, and the iWork for iCloud beta now includes support for real-time collaboration. On October 22nd, Apple released Mavericks for free. As well as the iLife '13 & iWork '13 suites being announced as free for all newly purchased Macs that shipped with Mavericks. This came as a shock, but a good one. Next thing was figuring out the licensing. Well whilst Mavericks is free we are still. By John Brownlee. 8:00 am, December 13, 2014. Photo: Cult of Mac. If you bought a Mac from 2013 on, you can download the iWork suite of apps — Pages, Keynote and Numbers — from.

Archive file format used by the iWork suite; contains serialized components, such as theme style sheets, tables, and metadata, in a Protobuf stream, which is compressed in the Snappy compression format; located inside the Index.zip file in an iWork document bundle.

The IWA format replaces the previous XML-based format by splitting XML documents into small binary files that can be loaded in isolation, which is better for iOS devices that have less RAM and for sharing to iCloud. The data contained in the index XML file is now encoded in the IWA binary files, which are contained in the Index.zip file.

A Protobuf stream is a way of encoding structured data for more efficient data exchange. The encoded data is compressed with Snappy compression, a format widely used by Google and intended for high compression and decompression speeds. The format compresses around 250 MB/sec and decompresses close to 500 MB/sec.

NOTE: The IWA format was released with the iWork '13 suite.
