+# MFEMConduitDataCollection
+
+## Summary
+
+!syntax description /Outputs/MFEMConduitDataCollection
+
+## Overview
+
+`MFEMDataCollection` controlling output of data to an `mfem::ConduitDataCollection` for visualisation
+in VisIt. Conduit output is typically significantly faster than other data collections since VisIt uses
+the MFEM FE types for visualisation, and ParaViewDataCollection oversamples the degrees of freedom.
+
+The user may choose the output protocol out of the following options: `hdf5`, `json`, `conduit_json`, and `conduit_bin`.
