Data Representation and Serialization

Overview

 We take a look at common formats for saving,  reading,   and shuffling data around such as Comma Separated Values (CSV),   JavaScript Object Notation (JSON),   YAML Ain't Markup Language (YAML),   and eXtensible Markup Language (XML).   If you want to know more about these data formats as well as how to interact with these different data representation using Python,   then we will see you there!
