The Self-Defining Text Archive and Retrieval (STAR) File, or simply the STAR File, is a text-based file format for storing structured data.It was proposed in 1991 by Sydney R. Hall. The format became widely used in molecular-structure sciences, although it is not specific to this field—it was designed as a universal approach to electronic data exchange and archiving. One characteristic feature of the STAR File format is that data names (keys in key–value pairs) start with the underscore. They are separated from data values only by white space, for example:

| - The Self-Defining Text Archive and Retrieval (STAR) File, or simply the STAR File, is a text-based file format for storing structured data.It was proposed in 1991 by Sydney R. Hall. The format became widely used in molecular-structure sciences, although it is not specific to this field—it was designed as a universal approach to electronic data exchange and archiving. One characteristic feature of the STAR File format is that data names (keys in key–value pairs) start with the underscore. They are separated from data values only by white space, for example: _format "STAR File"_first_published 1991 The format was designed to provide a concise syntax for tabular data. The construct for this is called loop.Loops start with the loop_ keyword followed by names corresponding to columns and then by values. loop__geom_bond_atom_site_label_1_geom_bond_atom_site_label_2_geom_bond_distanceO1 C8 1.301(3)O1 Na1 2.161(2)O2 C36 1.425(4)O2 C39 1.425(4)O2 Na1 2.514(3)O3 C31 1.421(4)# ... Using a "Dictionary Definition Language" file, itself a STAR File, STAR sub-formats can be defined for particular use cases.One notable STAR-based format is the Crystallographic Information File format. The "STAR FILE" name is a registered trade mark of the International Union of Crystallography. (en)
