The documentation is good but must always keep up with the ever evolving QGIS. This is not always the case as it is also maintained by a group of well meaning volunteers. You will find some information in the cookbook but this concern the API and not necessary that file format. <a href="https://docs.qgis.org/testing/en/docs/pyqgis_developer_cookbook/geometry.html">https://docs.qgis.org/testing/en/docs/pyqgis_developer_cookbook/geometry.html</a>.

There, you will see the various files formats that QGIS</div><div dir="ltr">can use as it relies on GDAL to read and write to files. Documentation on that site is good but as an untrained programmer, I find it hard to navigate. You might prefer The Gdal Cookbook. It is outdated as it’s based on gdal 1.x and not 2.x but it contain easy code that can help you out. <a href="https://pcjericks.github.io/py-gdalogr-cookbook/">https://pcjericks.github.io/py-gdalogr-cookbook/</a> It’s the best python gdal tutorial <span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">for dummies </span>out there!
