Convert Screenshot to Avro

Screenshots are pictures of what's on a computer or phone screen. We can pull structured data from these images, no matter if they're PNGs, JPEGs, or other image types.

We focus on getting tables out of screenshots. We turn what you see in the image into data you can work with on a computer. This lets you easily analyze and use information that was stuck in picture form before. It's pretty neat.

Avro is a row-based data serialization system developed within Apache's Hadoop project. It provides rich data structures and a compact, fast binary data format.

Technical Details

Avro uses JSON for defining data schemas, which are stored with the data. This enables schema evolution while maintaining compatibility. The data itself is stored in a compact binary format.

Advantages

• Compact binary serialization
• Schema definition included with the data
• Support for schema evolution
• Dynamic typing and code generation

Limitations

• Not human-readable without special tools
• Less widely supported than formats like JSON or CSV
• More complex to implement than simpler formats
• Less efficient for columnar queries than Parquet
