Mathematica provides incredible automation for handling external data. Supporting hundreds of formats and subformats across a full range of areas, Mathematica builds on a history of unique, symbolic architecture to provide a unified language for converting between external data and uniform Mathematica symbolic expressions--defining a new level of capability for digital workflow management.
- Uniform mechanism for immediate extraction of data and metadata "elements", and control of representation and rendering in Mathematica.
- Streamlined discovery interface for finding available elements in external data.
- Language for synthesis of external data from elements in Mathematica.
- Automatic high-level graphic and other representations of imported external data.
- Automatic format recognition and data unpacking.
- Built-in support for importing from the web, with settable network configuration.
- Automatic support for extracting structured and unstructured data from HTML web pages.
- Automatic support for importing as well as exporting PDF.
- Broad support for 3D geometry and modeling, GIS, chemical, biomedical, scientific, and astronomical formats.
- Support for new graphics and sound formats; greatly enhanced subformats and metadata mechanisms.
- Greatly enhanced support for tabular and spreadsheet formats; direct support for database import.
- Direct support for systems formats such as Apache logs and mbox, as well as compression and archive formats.
- Unified support for annotated rasterization of arbitrary graphics, typesetting, controls and notebook elements.
- Direct support for multifile importing and exporting.
