Apache Arrow

When you begin working with [binary data] and [typed arrays], you quickly realize a need for lots of utility functions. The APIs for working with this data in a browser are fairly low level, and using them without an abstraction is unwieldy. Rather than effectively writing your own domain specific language, it makes sense to adopt a growing industry standard like [Apache Arrow].

Apache Arrow defines a language-independent columnar memory format for flat and hierarchical data, organized for efficient analytic operations on modern hardware like CPUs and GPUs. The Arrow memory format also supports zero-copy reads for lightning-fast data access without serialization overhead.

Used for lots of high performance scenarios.
