Mandated

• Dst: Fully implemented with all headers and and metadata.
• Exp: Fully implemented
• Pes: Fully implemented doesn't save out graphics other than the ones it makes.
• Vp3: Fully implemented for single-design files.
• Jef: Fully implemented. May need future advancements for Jef+

Others

• PEC: Fully implemented. Some parts are still kind of unknown.

Non-Embroidery

• Svg: Debug vector viewing is fully functional. It might be possible to expand it to mock up sequins.
• Cvs: Debug export of relevant data.

Weakly implemented.

(nothing else)

Readers

Mandated

• Dst Fully Implemented. Loads all relevant metadata and expanded headers.
• Exp Fully Implemented. Loads all stitches.

Unimplemented Formats

For some of these. No known embroidery files exist for them. And libembroidery has only a stub. They basically equate to being a rumor.

Formats with libembroidery writers

• Ksm
• Max
• Pcd

Easyish

• Ksm a lot like EXP, and had the first writer of the bunch.
• Max is an embroidery format. REader + Writer.
• Mit is an embroidery format, also, literally just signed 8 bit dx, dy values.
• New is an embroidery format. Akin to Fxy apparently.
• Ofm is an embroidery format, apparently read from one of those compound binary things.
• Sst is similar to all flip bit command header formats.
• Stx is apparently an embroidery format, with some mapping.
• T01 is DST encoding with no header.
• T09 is commandbite flip, x,y, formatting with 0x0C of header.
• Tap is dst encoded with no header.
• U00 is very similar to to U01, Apparently has thread data which isn't something U01 knew about, but likely has.
• Zsk poorly mapped triplet code.

Moderate

• Pcd is an embroidery format. Reader + Writer.
• Pcm similar to Pcd.
• Pcq similar to Pdc.
• Pcs is a bit hinky.
• Phb is has colors and calls REad Pec Stitches.
• Phc is same as calls for ReadPecStitches (apparently it has a PEC block)

Harder implementations

• Thr is Thredworks file. For embroidery software not embroidery machines. Bunch of floats and fills data.
• Csd has a weird byte replacement cypher, but doable.
• Hus has that tiny arc table compression format thing that seems excessively annoying.

Uncracked

• Art libembroidery has a stub. Also, within the compound binary structure the various elements are replacement ciphered and the relevant data has 4 bytes of file size and zlib content the rest of the file.
• Emb much like Art with a different cypher.

Weakly understood.

• Bmc libembroidery has a stub. Files exist.
• Cnd libembroidery has a stub.
• Dem libembroidery has a stub.
• Pel libembroidery has a stub.
• Pem libembroidery has a stub.

Color only formats

• Rgb is color only format.
• Inf is a color-only file.
• Col is a color-only file.
• Edr is a color-only file.

Non-Embroidery Formats

• Plt is HPGP plotter formatting.
• Dxf is that interchange format for cad stuff.
