# Custom data formats in Orbital

> Custom data formats in Orbital

Source: https://orbitalhq.com/docs/data-formats/custom-data-formats

Orbital has support for several data formats, however if you need a format that's not here, it's possible
to implement your own.

Orbital uses a [ModelFormatSpec](https://github.com/orbitalapi/orbital/blob/develop/vyne-core-types/src/main/java/com/orbitalhq/models/format/ModelFormatSpec.kt) to provide format-specific serialization & deserialization implementations.

While it is possible to define your own custom format, to load it into Orbital currently requires a custom build - available for Enterprise customers only.

Support for loading custom formats via Taxi projects is planned - Vote for [this issue](https://github.com/orbitalapi/orbital/issues/8) or [reach out to us](https://join.slack.com/t/orbitalapi/shared_invite/zt-697laanr-DHGXXak5slqsY9DqwrkzHg) if you'd like to discuss getting this feature supported.

If you need a format that's not listed here, [reach out to us](https://join.slack.com/t/orbitalapi/shared_invite/zt-697laanr-DHGXXak5slqsY9DqwrkzHg), and we'll probably just build it for you!
