WHY CSV IS STILL KING
Summary from the TLDR newsletter
CSV is simple, resilient, and seemingly impossible to kill off. The standard developed naturally as a simple way to store data in tables when storage was very limited. It has become crucial for business data - companies use it to share financial data, import customer information, and exchange data between different systems. While it has its problems, the format will likely remain king, as its core simplicity will keep it relevant for years to come.
