The CSV (Comma-Separated Values) file format is a widely used text format for storing and exchanging tabular data. Each line in a CSV file represents a row in a table, with individual values separated by commas, making it easy to read and write. This simplicity allows for straightforward parsing and data exchange across various applications. CSV files are particularly popular in data science and machine learning, as they facilitate the import and export of datasets for analysis, visualization, and modeling. Despite its advantages, the lack of a formal standard can lead to variations in how different applications interpret CSV files.
