Even the files with the same extension (CBR) created by different versions of the application (newer or older ones) may have different data structures. To use the same data in another program, or at another operating system we must perform the conversion (in this case from the CBR file to EPUB). Nearly every application that we use every day has its own file format in which it stores the processed data. Whereas, for the computer, the entire structure of the file changes.Īll data used by computers is encoded in many different ways. Data conversion is changing the way of presentation of data to the computer (for the user the visible change is a different ending of the file EPUB instead of CBR, or the possibility to open a file in another application than before, while the content itself remains relatively similar).
'Data conversion' we define some actions to change the file format that stores specific information to another format.
