Fun Fact

The CSV format is over 50 years old and still one of the most widely used data formats in the world. Despite its simplicity, changing just a single delimiter can make the difference between a file that works and one that does not.

Historical Context

CSV files originated in the early days of computing as a simple way to exchange tabular data between programs. Different regions and applications adopted different delimiter standards, such as commas in the United States and semicolons in Europe. This variation created the ongoing need for reliable delimiter conversion tools like this one.
