Answer 1

Explanation:

assume your clients can accept whatever representation format you serve. The known needs of your clients take priority over anything I can say here. If you know your data is being fed directly into Microsoft Excel, you ought to serve representations in Excel format or a compatible CSV format. My advice also does not extend to document formats that can only be understood by humans. If you’re serving audio files, I’ve got nothing to say about which audio format you should choose. To a first approximation, a programmed client finds all audio files equally unintelligible.
