data-formats

Data formats are essential structures that define how information is stored, organized, and transmitted. They play a crucial role in data management, influencing the efficiency of data processing and analysis. Common data formats include CSV (Comma Separated Values), JSON (JavaScript Object Notation), and binary formats like Parquet and Avro. Each format has its advantages and disadvantages, making it important to choose the right one based on the specific requirements of a project. Understanding these formats helps in optimizing data storage, ensuring compatibility across different systems, and facilitating effective data sharing and communication.
