CSV

Comma-Separated Values

A plain text format for tabular data where each line is a row and values are separated by commas.

Technical Detail

CSV is part of the web platform's core infrastructure. Modern browsers implement plain through standardized Web APIs, ensuring consistent behavior across Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. The relevant specifications are maintained by the W3C, WHATWG, or IETF. Understanding the underlying protocol or mechanism helps developers use csv correctly, avoid common pitfalls, and optimize for performance and security.

Example

```javascript
// CSV: web API example
const response = await fetch('/api/resource');
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data);
```
