IT, Information Technology and Data Formats - Markdown

IT, Information Technology and Data Formats is a systematic classification of various data formats widely used in modern information society. It covers diverse data formats including text-based structured data formats (CSV, JSON, XML), binary big data formats (Parquet, Avro, ORC), configuration file formats (YAML, TOML, INI), image formats (JPEG, PNG, WebP, SVG), and video/audio formats (MP4, AVI, MOV, MP3, AAC, WAV). These formats are selected according to their characteristics for data storage, exchange, processing, and archiving, forming an essential foundation for cloud computing, big data analytics, web development, and multimedia processing.
