Avro (File Format)

Avro is a compact, efficient file format used for storing and exchanging structured data. It organizes data in a way that makes it easy for different systems to read and write, with a built-in schema that describes the data’s structure. This ensures data consistency and supports quick processing, especially in big data environments. Avro files are often used in distributed systems and data pipelines because they are flexible, compact, and facilitate seamless data serialization and deserialization across various programming languages.
