What is a difference between structured data and semi-structured data?
The correct answer is A. Structured data has a fixed schema and semi-structured data has a flexible schema. Whereas structured data requires a fixed schema defined in advance, semi-structured data does not require a prior schema definition. For this reason, it can constantly evolve - new attributes can be added at any time.
