The library collecting the ROOT classes dedicated to data input and output.

For an overview of I/O in ROOT, see the following pages in the ROOT manual:

ROOT files
Trees: ROOT's columnar storage
I/O concepts: a collection of more advanced I/O-related topics
I/O of custom classes: how to read and write user-defined C++ objects

For ROOT I/O developers, a detailed internal description of the ROOT files layout is also available.
