What is a CSV file #
CSV stands for comma-separated values. A CSV file is a delimited text file that uses a comma to separate values.
A CSV file consists of one or more lines. Each line is a data record. And each data record consists of one or more values separated by commas. In addition, all the lines of a CSV file have the same number of values.
Typically, you use a CSV file to store tabular data in plain text. The CSV file format is quite popular and supported by many software applications such as Microsoft Excel and Google Spreadsheet.
