The CSV format is a very simple general data format that has been around for many years and allows any text-based data to be stored and exchanged between systems that can interpret CSV files with minimal development needed.
Data is stored within the file as a series of columns separated by a ',' character. The simplistic nature of CSV files has made them a popular choice for exchanging data between spreadsheet applications such as Microsoft's Excel and databases such as the many SQL-based databases.
Support for CSV files is widespread amongst spreadsheet and database software, making it possible to import and export CSV from Excel and other spreadsheets. SQL databases also offer options to exchange data between CSV files.
CSV files contain a sequence of unique bytes at the beginning of the file. This header section is usually followed by the main CSV file section. Where the header block is present, our document repair tool will parse the header data to validate the file type and also provide additional metadata that describes key characteristics of the document uploaded.
