What is Structured Data?

Structured data refers to organized and well-defined data that is formatted in a consistent manner. This data is typically stored in databases and follows a predefined schema or structure, making it easy to search, query, and analyze. Examples of structured data include tables in a relational database, spreadsheets, and data represented in XML or JSON formats. Structured data contrasts with unstructured data, which lacks a specific format or schema, and semi-structured data, which falls in between.
