ARROWS to AI Conversion
What are ARROWS files?
ARROWS is the file extension of the streaming variant of the Apache Arrow IPC format, which is the form of Arrow data meant to be sent from one program to another rather than stored as a finished table. A stream carries a sequence of record batches, which are pieces of a table, one after another, and a receiving program can start working on the first piece before the last one has arrived. When some columns hold geometries, the stream follows the GeoArrow specification, so that points, lines, and polygons and their coordinate system travel together with their attributes. Streams of this type are used to move large amounts of geographic features between tools or over a network, and they are sometimes saved to disk as .arrows files.
What are AI files?
AI (Adobe Illustrator Artwork) is a proprietary format used by Adobe Illustrator to create vector-based drawings. Though highly popular among graphic designer due to its ability to offer the possibility of creating and editing vector-based drawings. AI files can prove to be incompatible with most image viewers. For this reason, designers usually prefer to convert them to a more accessible format after finalizing the drawing.
