Fun Fact
The CSV format predates modern spreadsheets and has been widely used since the early days of data exchange in computing. Despite its simplicity, it remains one of the most universal data transport formats in the world.
Historical Context
Comma-separated values emerged as a practical way to exchange structured tabular data between early computer systems. Long before standardized APIs and JSON became dominant, CSV served as a lightweight interoperability format. Today, even advanced data pipelines still rely on CSV because of its transparency, portability, and compatibility across operating systems and programming languages.
