Format Details
SAV
SAV is the binary data file format native to IBM SPSS Statistics, one of the most widely used statistical analysis packages in social science, healthcare, and market research. It stores datasets together with complete variable metadata including names, labels, value labels, missing value codes, and measurement scales. SAV files are essential for sharing reproducible SPSS analyses and are also readable by R, Python, and SAS through compatibility libraries.
JSONL
JSONL (JSON Lines, also known as NDJSON) stores one complete, valid JSON object per line in a plain-text file. This line-by-line structure makes it ideal for streaming large datasets, log files, and machine learning training data, since each record can be processed independently without loading the entire file into memory. JSONL is increasingly standard in data engineering, LLM training pipelines, and high-throughput logging systems.
