What is CSV, and why is CSV used?

CSV stands for comma-separated values file. It's a delimited text file that contains the values separated by commas. Each line in the file contains the data. The data contains the fields, separated by commas.

CSV file format is highly supported for converting the tabular data into simple plain text. The companies that want their high volume data about the customers and their orders (to get from and send to their database) use that file extension.

Therefore, Facebook and Google platforms also encourage using that file extension to upload the customer data to their advertising platforms.

What is XML, and why is XML used?

XML stands for Extensible Markup Language. It's a text-based markup language derived from Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML). It's considered a traditional medium to store and transfer data on the internet. An XML file provides the data in an understandable format for humans and machines.

In XML, the tags are not predefined, like in HTML. So you are free to use the custom tags at your convenience. The tags store the data and transfer it on the web. Therefore, you can use that for transferring the data but not in data displaying because XML is not designed to perform transferring tasks.

Note: You can use the XML Viewer/ XML Formatter to edit and display your XML file in a tree view.

CSV VS XML

  • XML is more versatile than CSV but less compact than CSV files.
  • CSV consumes less space (almost half of the space) than an XML file.
  • XML was designed to represent data formats in a better hierarchical structure. However, CSV does not support a hierarchical data structure.
  • A CSV file can update and is limited to one object per file, whereas an XML file can update multiple objects from one file.
