In the world of computer data formats, there are several text-based formats such as CSV, XML, or JSON, and numerous binary formats used for images, audio, video, and software.

In addition, there are archive formats (compressed) that can even serve as containers for individual Office files.

However, there are very few general-purpose binary formats that are not tailored to a specific media type. Many formats are designed for specific applications or industries and offer little flexibility.

There is a lack of general-purpose data formats that meet modern requirements for encrypted data storage and exchange. Over the past decade, the demands for data storage and exchange have changed significantly. Developers are increasingly looking for solutions that are not only efficient but also support integration of offline data and subsequent synchronization with cloud services.

In this context, the under development file format “Linwalt” meets a wide range of requirements and may prove to be a versatile solution for modern data management needs.

The new data structure is being developed to bridge the gap between specialized and general-purpose file formats. The concept behind Linwalt aims to offer an elegant solution for storing binary data that can be managed efficiently both locally and in the cloud. The format is characterized by its streamlined structure, which allows data to be stored serially and efficiently. This serialization ensures a compact and easily understandable data structure that can be applied in a wide variety of scenarios.

A key highlight of Linwalt is its flexibility in offline data capture and subsequent synchronization. The format was designed with the goal of collecting data in situations where an immediate connection to a cloud service is not available. The collected data can be stored locally and synchronized later once a network connection is established. This enables seamless integration of offline data into centralized data storage without compromising data consistency and integrity.

For use in cloud storage environments, Linwalt files are an excellent solution. The lightweight and serialized format is especially well-suited for cloud services, as it ensures efficient data storage and transmission. Data can be easily exchanged between different systems and platforms, making Linwalt an ideal format for email transmission and other forms of data transfer.

The format utilizes secure AES-256 encryption, making it suitable for privacy-compliant storage of personal data. This modern encryption technology ensures that sensitive information is protected from unauthorized access and complies with current security standards. This has become especially important as data protection and security continue to play an increasingly significant role.
