csv’s are a horrible format. Tabs are superior in almost all use cases except that 0.00001% use case where someone has put a tab in their name.
Never heard of a tsv

Get OUTTA HERE NOW

I don’t get the joke… ?

I am assuming there really is a standardized format that uses tabs? Or do you just see it as intuitive to replace the commas with tabs? I’m really curious. I haven’t typically worked with huge datasets but when I’ve worked with data stored in files it is normally either a json or a csv.

Bit of a joke related to bringing “what is TSV” to an “intense” TSV vs CSV debate.

As for TSV itself, it’s a widely used standard from 32 years ago, and is often a default record delimiter when used with GNU/POSIX tools.

It mostly exists as legacy at this point, as people now prefer quoted values like those given in CSV (ver2) and JSON formats.
