JSON
JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight, text-based format used for data interchange. JSON is easy to read and write for humans and simple to parse and generate for machines. Its structure is composed of two elements: objects, containing key-value pairs, and arrays, holding lists of values. Keys in JSON objects are strings, and values can be strings, numbers, arrays, true or false, null, and other objects. This format is widely used in web applications for sending data between clients and servers, as well as in configuration files and data feeds.
Apache Avro
Apache Avro is a row-based data serialization format designed to support efficient data encoding and compression. Avro stores data in a compact binary format, which makes it efficient for both storage and transmission. Every Avro file includes a schema that describes the structure of the data stored within it. Avro supports a range of complex data types, including nested records, arrays, and maps. Avro also supports schema evolution, allowing the schema of a dataset to change over time (adding new fields, for example) while maintaining backward compatibility with the older version of the schema.
