Technical Specifications & Codec Breakdown
CSV vs. XLSX: Raw Data vs. Formatting
CSV is pure plain text separated by commas - it stores raw tabular numbers and strings that any programming language or database can read in milliseconds. XLSX is a ZIP package of XML files storing formulas, cell colors, multiple worksheets, and charts.
The Comma & Quote Trap in CSVs
If an address contains a comma (like '123 Main St, Apt 4'), a sloppy CSV parser splits it into two columns. Standard RFC 4180 CSV wraps fields containing commas or line breaks in double quotes, preserving structured columns during conversion.
