FAQ
What is CSV format?▾
CSV (Comma-Separated Values) is a plain-text format that stores tabular data with each row on a new line and columns separated by a delimiter character.
Can this formatter handle TSV (tab-separated) files?▾
Yes. Select 'Tab' as the delimiter to format TSV files, which are common exports from Excel and database tools.
How are fields with commas handled?▾
Fields containing the delimiter character are enclosed in double quotes per the RFC 4180 standard. The formatter correctly parses these quoted fields.
Can I edit CSV data in this tool?▾
This tool focuses on formatting and visualization. For in-browser CSV editing, consider a dedicated spreadsheet tool.
CSV Tips for Developers
- Always specify encoding (UTF-8 BOM) when exporting CSV for Excel to correctly display special characters.
- RFC 4180 is the de facto CSV standard — fields with newlines or commas must be double-quoted.
- Use TSV instead of CSV when your data frequently contains commas in field values.
- Pandas (Python) read_csv() and Node.js csv-parse are the most popular libraries for CSV parsing.
- Database COPY commands (PostgreSQL, MySQL) use CSV format for high-speed data imports and exports.
