Format Details
DTA
DTA is the native binary data file format for Stata, a statistical analysis package widely used in economics, epidemiology, and social science research. It stores complete datasets along with variable labels, value labels, missing value indicators, and display formats that preserve the full analytical context. DTA files can contain millions of observations and thousands of variables, making them suitable for large survey and panel datasets.
JSON
JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight, human-readable data interchange format derived from JavaScript object literal syntax. It natively supports objects, arrays, strings, numbers, booleans, and null, allowing it to represent arbitrarily nested data structures. JSON has become the universal standard for REST API responses, configuration files, and data interchange on the web, with native parsing support in virtually every programming language.
