data a human readable medium or human readable format is any encoding of data or information that can be naturally read by humans in computing human readable data is often encoded as ascii or unicode text rather than as binary data in most contexts the alternative to a human readable representation is a machine readable format or medium of data primarily designed for reading by electronic mechanical or optical devices or computers for example universal product code upc barcodes are very difficult to read for humans but very effective and reliable with the proper equipment whereas the strings of numerals that commonly accompany the label are the human readable form of the barcode information since any type of data encoding can be parsed by a suitably programmed computer the decision to use binary encoding rather than text encoding is usually made to conserve storage space encoding data in a binary format typically requires fewer bytes of storage and increases efficiency of access input and output by eliminating format parsing or conversion with the advent of standardized highly structured markup languages such as extensible markup language xml the decreasing costs of data storage and faster and cheaper data communication networks compromises between human readability and machine readability are now more common place than they were in the past this has led to humane markup languages and modern configuration file formats that are far easier for humans to read in addition these structured representations can be compressed very effectively for transmission or storage human readable protocols greatly reduce the cost of debugging 1 various organizations have standardized the definition of human readable and machine readable data and how they are applied in their respective fields of application e g the universal postal union 2 often the term human readable is also used to describe shorter names or strings that are easier to comprehend or to remember than long complex syntax notations such as some uniform resource locator strings 3 occasionally human readable is used to describe ways of encoding an arbitrary integer into a long series of english words compared to decimal or other compact binary to text encoding systems english words are easier for humans to read remember and type in 4 see also edit self documenting code source code that is
