What is an AVSC file?

AVSC files mostly belong to Apache Avro. Apache Avro Schema (.avsc) files are JSON documents that define the structure of data used in Apache Avro systems.
They describe records, fields, and data types so that programs know how to serialize and deserialize binary data.

Purpose: They serve as blueprints for encoding data. This ensures that data produced by one application can be correctly interpreted by another.
Usage: Common in big data and distributed systems, these files maintain consistency and support schema evolution over time.
They can be opened and edited by any text editor since they are plain JSON texts, although specialized tools from Apache Avro help verify and use them in projects.

Apache Avro
An AVSC file is an Apache Avro schema file. It uses JSON syntax to define the structure and data types for data serialized using the Avro format. These schemas ensure data consistency and interoperability across different systems and programming languages. The schema defines fields within a record, including their name, type (e.g., int, string, array, record), and other attributes like default values. This allows Avro to efficiently serialize and deserialize data, enabling compact storage and fast processing. This file format is classified as Data serialization format.
