+## JLD2 Files
+
+A convenient format for reading and writing DataFrames in JLD2 which saves and loads
+Julia data structures in a format comprising a subset of HDF5. Unlike several other 
+formats, JLD2 preserves custom Types. The save and load functions, provided by FileIO, 
+provide a mechanism to read/write `DataFrame` from/to a JLD2 file.  
+
+A `DataFrame` can be saved as a JLD2 file at path `output.jld2` using
+```julia
+using FileIO
+using Pkg; Pkg.add("JLD2")
+
+df = DataFrame(x=1, y=2)
+save("output.jld2", Dict("df" => df))
+```
+
+and can be read using
+```julia
+load("output.jld2") # -> Dict{String, Any} with 1 entry: "df" => 1×2 DataFrame
+```
