# Matchms Importing and Exporting Reference

This document details all file format support in matchms for loading and saving mass spectrometry data.

## Importing Spectra

Matchms provides dedicated functions for loading spectra from various file formats. All import functions return generators for memory-efficient processing of large files.

### Common Import Pattern

```python
from matchms.importing import load_from_mgf

# Load spectra (returns generator)
spectra_generator = load_from_mgf("spectra.mgf")

# Convert to list for processing
spectra = list(spectra_generator)
```
