Fun Fact
CSV remains one of the oldest and most widely used data formats, dating back to early mainframe data exchange systems. Despite decades of technological evolution, it continues to dominate because of its simplicity and universal compatibility.
Historical Context
Comma-separated values emerged in the 1970s as a straightforward method for transferring tabular data between heterogeneous systems.
