Welcome to Drivers in Focus, our newsletter highlighting CData connectivity for a featured data source. In this edition, we’ll provide an overview of CData data storage and file format solutions. Some file formats like XML and CSV are easy to read, while others like JSON and Parquet files are not. We’ll do a deep technical dive to look at how CData makes it easy to read any file from any BI or reporting tool – no matter the format.
