With his expert guidance, you’ll learn how to

understand data formats, delimited text and CSV files, XML, JSON, scripting, and other key components of data;
undertake more sophisticated tasks such as comparing files, converting data from one format to another, reformatting values, combining data from multiple files, and communicating with APIs (Application Programming Interfaces);
save time and stress through simple techniques for transforming text, recognizing symbols that perform important tasks, a Regular Expression cheat sheet, a glossary, and other tools.
Library technologists and those involved in maintaining and analyzing data and metadata will find Banerjee’s resource essential. Categories:
