Understand the formats

CSV

CSV stores rows of delimited text. Quoted fields can contain commas and line breaks; encoding and header conventions vary between applications.

Use CSV for exchanging a simple table. Select the correct character encoding and inspect the column names before converting to JSON.

Leading zeros, dates and long identifiers can be changed by spreadsheet software when opened. Coverton neutralizes formula-like cells in supported table exports; encoding-only conversion preserves the original text.

When is this useful?

Prepare a CSV table for software requiring tab-separated data. Commas inside quoted fields remain cell content.
