Avro Data Serialization

Avro Data Serialization is a method used to format and store data efficiently, allowing different systems to read and write it easily. It uses a schema, which is like a blueprint, to define the structure of the data. This ensures that data can be shared between programs, even if they are written in different languages. Avro is particularly useful in big data environments, as it compresses data for storage and enables quick access for processing. Its flexibility and support for evolving data structures make it popular in data processing frameworks like Apache Hadoop.
