In plain words

Dit is a container file format designed to standardize how data is stored and organized. Launched in 2020, it provides a new approach to packaging information in a consistent, structured way. The project is available on GitHub for developers and technical users interested in exploring alternative data container solutions. Dit aims to address standardization challenges in data storage and exchange across different systems.

    Hi HN, We're Anna, Adrian, Marcin and Matt, developers of dlt. dlt is an open source library to automatically create datasets out of messy, unstructured data sources.
