What is CSV Data?

CSV (Comma-Separated Values) is a simple text format for storing tabular data. Each line represents a record, and commas separate the fields. CSV is widely used for spreadsheets, databases, and data export/import.

What is JSON?

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a structured format for storing and exchanging data. It uses key-value pairs and is the standard for modern APIs and web applications. JSON is more structured than CSV and easier for programs to parse.
