It can be considered a vector geometry format, like it says on the
wikipedia page: *'Being a single binary file, SpatiaLite is also being used
as a GIS vector format to exchange geospatial data'*. It is possible to see
a SpatiaLite file as a smart Shapefile.

On the other hand, one could say that OGC Simple Features is the actual
format used by SpatiaLite. It depends on what we understand 'format' to
mean exactly.
