  2. MessagePack - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MessagePack

    MessagePack is more compact than JSON, but imposes limitations on array and integer sizes.On the other hand, it allows binary data and non-UTF-8 encoded strings. In JSON, map keys have to be strings, but in MessagePack there is no such limitation and any type can be a map key, including types like maps and arrays, and, like YAML, numbers.

    Property list files use the filename extension.plist, and thus are often referred to as p-list files. Property list files are often used to store a user's settings. They are also used to store information about bundles and applications , a task served by the resource fork in the old Mac OS.

  4. Binary-to-text encoding - Wikipedia

    The best-known is the string "From " (including trailing space) at the beginning of a line, used to separate mail messages in the mbox file format. By using a binary-to-text encoding on messages that are already plain text, then decoding on the other end, one can make such systems appear to be completely transparent .

  5. Base64 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base64

    Very roughly, the final size of Base64-encoded binary data is equal to 1.37 times the original data size + 814 bytes (for headers). The size of the decoded data can be approximated with this formula: bytes = (string_length(encoded_string) − 814) / 1.37

    The following byte is either 55 (U) for single-page or 4D (M) for multi-page documents. 30 82: 0‚ ...

  7. Array (data type) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Array_(data_type)

    For one-dimensional arrays, this facility may be provided as an operation append(A,x) that increases the size of the array A by one and then sets the value of the last element to x. Other array types (such as Pascal strings) provide a concatenation operator, which can be used together with slicing to achieve that effect and more.

  8. BSON - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BSON

    It is a binary form for representing simple or complex data structures including associative arrays (also known as name-value pairs), integer indexed arrays, and a suite of fundamental scalar types. BSON originated in 2009 at MongoDB. Several scalar data types are of specific interest to MongoDB and the format is used both as a data storage and ...

  9. Data type - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_type

    The standard type hierarchy of Python 3. In computer science and computer programming, a data type (or simply type) is a collection or grouping of data values, usually specified by a set of possible values, a set of allowed operations on these values, and/or a representation of these values as machine types.
