Format Details
Feather
Feather is a fast, lightweight binary columnar data format jointly developed by the Apache Arrow and pandas teams for efficient data interchange between Python and R. It leverages Apache Arrow's in-memory columnar format to achieve extremely fast read and write speeds with good compression. Feather is optimized for performance rather than long-term archival and is ideal for sharing large data frames between data science tools in a pipeline.
XLS
XLS is the legacy binary spreadsheet format used by Microsoft Excel from 1987 through the Office 2003 era, based on Microsoft's proprietary Binary Interchange File Format (BIFF). It stores worksheets, formulas, charts, and macros in a binary structure that requires Microsoft's format specification to parse correctly. XLS remains common in older enterprise systems and when compatibility with legacy versions of Excel is required.
