Andmevahetusstruktuure, often translated as data exchange structures or data structures for communication, refers to the formats and organizations used to represent and transmit data between different systems or components. These structures are fundamental to ensuring interoperability and efficient data flow in computing.

Common examples include arrays, linked lists, trees, and graphs, which are used internally within a program to manage data. However, when discussing data exchange, specific formats become crucial. These often involve serialization techniques like JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) and XML (eXtensible Markup Language). JSON is favored for its lightweight nature and ease of parsing, making it popular for web APIs. XML, while more verbose, offers greater flexibility and extensibility through its schema definitions.

Beyond general-purpose formats, specialized structures exist for particular domains. In networking, protocols define packet structures that encapsulate data for transmission across networks. Databases employ specific structures for storing and retrieving data efficiently, such as tables in relational databases or documents in NoSQL databases. The choice of an appropriate data exchange structure depends heavily on the application's requirements, including performance, scalability, human readability, and the complexity of the data being exchanged. Understanding and implementing these structures effectively is key to building robust and interconnected software systems.
