Semi-structured data
Let’s break down the options:
Graph data
Used in graph databases (e.g., Azure Cosmos DB Gremlin API, Neo4j).
Represents nodes and edges with relationships.
JSON is not graph data.
Relational data
Stored in relational databases with tables, rows, and columns.
JSON does not follow a fixed schema with rows/columns.
Semi-structured data
Correct.
JSON, XML, and Avro are common examples of semi-structured data.
They don’t require a rigid schema like relational data, but still have organizational elements (tags, key-value pairs).
JSON is widely used in NoSQL/document databases like Azure Cosmos DB.
Unstructured data
Examples: images, videos, free text, audio.
JSON does not fit here because it has a defined structure with keys and values.
Correct Answer: Semi-structured data
