Understanding JSON vs CSV
About JSON
JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is the ubiquitous data exchange format for modern web APIs, NoSQL databases, and application configuration. However, business analysts often need tabular formats for reporting.
About CSV
CSV (Comma-Separated Values) is a plain-text tabular data format where each line represents a record and commas delineate fields. It is supported by every spreadsheet and BI tool on Earth.
When to Use JSON vs CSV
Use JSON when building APIs, microservices, and mobile apps. Convert to CSV when importing data into Excel, creating financial models, or performing statistical analysis.
