CSV (Comma-Separated Values) is a lightweight file format used to store tabular data in plain text, designed for easy data exchange between programs, particularly spreadsheets and databases. Its simplicity and human readability have made it a cornerstone of data interoperability. It is often used for moving data between programs with incompatible or proprietary formats.

is often used more broadly to refer to any text file that:
- Can be interpreted as tabular data
- Uses a delimiter to separate fields (columns)
- Uses line breaks to separate records (rows)
- Optionally includes a header in the first row

**Delimiters for Rows and Columns**
Rows are typically separated by line breaks (`\n` or `\r\n`), while columns (fields) are separated by a specific delimiter. Although commas are the most common delimiter for fields, other characters, such as semicolons (`;`), are commonly used in regions where commas are decimal separators (e.g., Germany). Tabs (`\t`) are also used as delimiters in some cases, with such files often referred to as "TSV" (Tab-Separated Values).

**Data Types**
CSV files do not inherently define data types. Numbers and dates are stored as plain text, and their interpretation depends on the software importing the file. Typically, data is interpreted as follows:

**Quoting Strings and Special Characters**
Quoting strings is only required if the string contains the delimiter, special characters, or otherwise could be interpreted as a number. However, it is often considered good practice to quote all strings to enhance readability and robustness.
