I hear you. The feedback from this post and other testers is approximately evenly split. Some people like the simplicity, some people want/need extras especially whitespace trim, backspace escape, and final newline.
What's your opinion of USV being simple (as you describe above) and USVX being a different standard that is USV + extras?
- kazinator 4y agoUSV is not simple if USVX exists. There is a potential for confusion. E.g. someone carelessly documents that some software accepts USV, when they mean USVX, or vice versa. You will forever have to be double-checking. Imagine if we had JSON and JSONX to contend with. White space trim means that if you don't expect trim, your significant white space is eaten, causing a bug. Most of the time, USV will be machine-generated. If the machine generates a field with leading or trailing space, then that's what the data is.
