Comma-Separated Values (.csv)
RFC StandardComma-Separated Values (CSV) is a ubiquitous plain-text format for tabular data, where each line represents a data record and fields are separated by delimiter characters.

Tehnične specifikacije
| Arhitektura vsebnika | Delimited flat text file representing tabular data rows and columns |
| Stiskanje | Gzip / Deflate achieves 85%-95% compression on repetitive tabular records |
| Vrstni red bajtov | UTF-8 text stream (optional UTF-8 BOM EF BB BF used by Excel) |
| Barvni prostori | Not applicable |
| Kanali in struktura | Row records delimited by CRLF with columns delimited by commas |
| Največje dimenzije | Unbounded; streamable to gigabytes without loading entire file in memory |

Pogosti načini okvar in vodič za heksadecimalno obnovo
⚠️ Columns shift to the right or row counts do not match.
Glavni vzrok: A text field containing an unescaped comma without surrounding quotation marks.
Sanacija: RFC 4180 requires fields containing commas to be wrapped in double quotes: "Smith, John".
⚠️ Accented characters render as strange symbols (mojibake like é instead of é) in Excel.
Glavni vzrok: Excel opened a UTF-8 CSV assuming the legacy Windows ANSI/CP1252 character encoding.
Sanacija: Prepend the 3-byte UTF-8 Byte Order Mark (0xEF 0xBB 0xBF) to the beginning of the file.
Varnostna analiza in napadalni vektorji razčlenjevalnika
CSV files open directly in spreadsheet software like Excel and Google Sheets, exposing users to Formula Injection (CSV Injection) attacks.
Znani vektorji napada
- Formula Injection: Cells starting with '=', '+', '-', or '@' executing spreadsheet macros or DDE commands (e.g. '=cmd|' /C calc'!A0').
- Data exfiltration via HYPERLINK() formulas sending sensitive cell data to remote attacker servers upon click.
Obrambne najboljše prakse: When exporting user data to CSV, prepend a single quote (') or tab to any cell starting with '=', '+', '-', or '@' to force plain text rendering in Excel.
Zgodovinski izvor in mejniki
Ključne prednosti
- Maximum simplicity: readable in any text editor and importable into every database and spreadsheet.
- Extremely fast line-by-line streaming without building a full in-memory DOM.
- Minimal overhead: no verbose tag syntax or schema definitions.
Tehnične omejitve in slabosti
- No standard data types: numbers, dates, booleans, and text are all stored as raw strings.
- No support for multiple sheets, cell formatting, formulas, or metadata.
- Delimiter conflicts (commas inside text, decimal commas in European locales) cause frequent parsing bugs.
Zanimive tehnične malenkosti
- In many European countries where commas are used as decimal points, semicolons (;) are used instead of commas as CSV separators.
- Microsoft Excel historically required a UTF-8 BOM (0xEF 0xBB 0xBF) to correctly display non-ASCII accented characters.
Pogosta tehnična vprašanja
What is RFC 4180?
RFC 4180 is the official IETF standard for CSV. It mandates that fields containing commas, line breaks, or double quotes must be enclosed in double quotes, and internal quotes must be escaped by doubling them ("").
Why do CSV files open with corrupted characters in Excel?
Older versions of Microsoft Excel default to the local Windows code page (like Windows-1252) rather than UTF-8 when opening CSV files directly. Adding a UTF-8 BOM (Byte Order Mark) at the start of the file forces Excel to decode UTF-8 correctly.
