Format Details
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.
Parquet
Apache Parquet is an open-source binary columnar storage format designed for efficient analytical data processing across the big data ecosystem. Its columnar layout enables excellent compression ratios and fast query execution when only a subset of columns is needed. Parquet is the de facto standard format for data lakes and is natively supported by Apache Spark, Hadoop, Presto, Snowflake, and most modern data processing platforms.
