Right, where are the tag names specified? What if a new column is added, and my reader needs to handle both formats?
Also, seems like specification-by-example, unless I’m missing something.
- petepete 8y agoTo be honest, I'd be quite happy if CSV just had a 'frontmatter' block. Sometimes a bit of background info or description of what the data represents or its source is really useful. Removing column headings would be a killer. Although efforts in the past to add type information are misguided, by that point you may as well just use XML.
