XLS

XLS files are Excel files that use the Binary Interchange File Format (BIFF). This was the default format for Excel versions 97-2003.

XLS files can have multiple sheets, and each sheet can contain multiple rows and columns of data. They support various data types, including text, numbers, dates, and formulas.

Key features of XLS files include:

  • Works with older versions of Excel and other spreadsheet software
  • Can store formatting information, charts, and macros
  • Smaller file size compared to newer formats like XLSX
  • Limited to 65,536 rows and 256 columns per sheet

While XLS files are still widely used, they're gradually being replaced by the more modern XLSX format.

Avro

Apache Avro is a row-oriented remote procedure call and data serialization framework developed as part of Apache's Hadoop project. It uses JSON to define data types and protocols, and serializes data in a compact binary format.

Avro can handle complex nested data structures and lets you query and work with specific columns without reading the entire dataset.
