How does Realm for Android actually store data?

Question

I am considering migrating a native Android project from a SQLite database to ORM. I reviewed what, in my opinion, is the fastest rival - DBFlow (based on SQLite) and Realm.

Therefore, out of curiosity, does anyone know which data format Realm uses? After reading their documentation, this seems to be a pretty closed topic, and I could not find anything about this.

From their site - Realm is not an ORM on top of SQLite. Instead, it uses its own persistence mechanism, and their source code is open to java. https://github.com/realm/realm-java
