A comma-separated values (CSV) file is a delimited text file that uses a comma to separate values.
|
|
Each line of the file is a data record. Each record consists of one or more fields, separated by
|
|
commas. The use of the comma as a field separator is the source of the name for this file format.
|
|
A CSV file typically stores tabular data (numbers and text) in plain text, in which case each line
|
|
has the same number of fields.
|
|
|
|
The CSV file format is not fully standardized. Other characters can be used as column delimiters.
|
|
Fields may or may not be surrounded to escape special characters.
|
|
|
|
When added to a repository, files with a `.csv` extension are rendered as a table when viewed in
