Show HN: NSV, a text file format that uses newlines to separate values
Hello HN,
Here is a small text file format that uses newlines to separate values. You can see this as the child of CSV and SRT. Hope it can be useful to someone else than me.
Feel free to comment and share your inputs
Cheers,
- mattewong 3y agoWhile you're making a CSV variant, why not go the extra step and remove the single most problematic CSV performance problem and make NSV compatible with high-performance, parallelized processing by eliminating quoting, and instead use escapes for embedded newlines, so that a newline is always a field delimiter and two newlines is always a record delimiter?
