'''IWA''' is a format used by Apple as part of the [[iWork]] format used in [[Pages]], [[Numbers]], and [[Keynote]].

It has a fairly complex structure. It consists of a [[Protobuf]] stream compressed using [[Snappy]] (both Protobuf and Snappy are formats originating with Google). However, the variant of Snappy that is used does not comply with the spec for that format, omitting the stream identifier and checksum. In the iWork format, these files are found within a [[ZIP]] archive (index.zip) that is within the [[Bundle file (OS X)|bundle file]] (actually a directory). The bundle is often found as a ZIP, so the IWA files end up being in a ZIP within a ZIP, with several layers of subdirectories thrown in. So things are nested like Russian dolls.
