Semi-structured data: Products, Human-generated sources & Machine-generated sources

Semi-structured data is a form of structured data that is not rigidly structured. The data model associated with semi-structured data is interpreted when the data is read from a data storage medium or accessed in memory. The data model need not conform to a predefined database schema and is not optimized for succinct, low-overhead streaming or persistent…
