Everything about CSV
About CSV
CSV is a simple file format used to store tabular data, such as a spreadsheet or database. Each line of the file is a data record, and each record consists of one or more fields, separated by commas. CSV files are commonly used for data exchange between different applications, as they can be easily read and written by many different programs.
For example:
Order ID, Product Name, Quantity, Price
1, Widget A, 10, 2.50
2, Widget B, 5, 3.00
3, Widget C, 20, 1.50
When to use CSV over JSON?
CSV is better for tabular data, while JSON is better for hierarchical data. CSV is also more compact and easier to read for small datasets, while JSON is more flexible and can represent more complex data structures.
