Hi QGIS community,

I am currently working with a custom file format that contains geometry information. The format contains mixed geometry types and some style and meta information.

The geometry is simple to map onto WKT and I have a parser for Python. I would like to integrate this into a QGIS plugin. It seems however that writing drivers for file formats is not really documented in the PyQGIS Developer Cookbook.

My questions are therefore:

Is it possible to introduce support for a custom file format through a plugin?
At what level should I integrate this? It seems that most formats are handled through GDAL, which has its own plugin system. I would rather have it installable through the QGIS interface

Are there any examples of similar formats (KML/GML) that are handled this way?

Kind regards,

Martijn Reening
