A binary file format built from first principles for modern data systems. Parse 100MB 50x faster than JSON, with 50-70% better compression. Full language support (Python, Java, JavaScript, Go, C#, Ruby). Includes a VS Code extension for viewing .kore files. 3 years of production testing before open source release.

Curious what you see as key differentiators over parquet / iceberg formats with snappy or similar compression schemes?
