What is CSV?
CSV (Comma-Separated Values) is a plain-text format where each line represents a row and values are separated by a delimiter, typically a comma. It is widely used for spreadsheets, database exports, and data exchange.
How do I view a CSV file online?
Paste your CSV text into the Viewer tab. The tool parses it and displays it as a sortable table with proper column alignment.
How do I convert CSV to JSON?
Switch to the CSV to JSON tab, paste your CSV, and click Convert. The first row is treated as the header and becomes the JSON object keys.
How do I convert JSON to CSV?
Use the JSON to CSV tab. Paste a JSON array of objects and the tool generates a properly quoted CSV with headers from the object keys.
What is the difference between CSV and Excel?
CSV is a plain-text format readable by any program. Excel (.xlsx) is a binary format with formatting and formulas. CSV is the universal interchange format for tabular data.
How does the tool handle quoted fields?
Fields containing the delimiter, quotes, or newlines must be wrapped in double quotes. The tool correctly handles RFC 4180-compliant quoting including escaped inner quotes ("").
What is TSV?
TSV (Tab-Separated Values) is a CSV variant using a tab character as the delimiter. Select the Tab delimiter option in the viewer to parse TSV files.
Can I sort the CSV table by a column?
Yes. Click any column header in the Viewer tab to sort rows ascending or descending by that column.
