Sure, you tell the finance industry that. They have systems, the systems already produce CSV. They can sign a contract worth multiples of your salary if you can consume it. Do you want the money or not?
- fragmede 3y agoIn case it wasn't clear, I want software engineers in the finance industry to implement sqlite import and export in their various pieces of software, not too give up on lucrative, existing contracts, obviously.
- rgmerk 3y agoThe inertia around CSV in the finance industry is incredibly strong, and let’s just say some of the biggest industry players aren’t exactly reknowned for their cutting-edge practices when it comes to data interchange formats.
- throwaway2037 3y agoFor interchange between banks, XML is also very common, because it is usually accompanied with a schema doc.
- rgmerk 3y agoYes. There’s certainly XML. There’s also some very strange hand-rolled formats that are a right pain to parse.
- pixl97 3y agoThe person in the fintec industry rarely decies "oh, I'm going to add this format no one is asking for". They'll get a specification requiring csv and start implementing it. Get fired halfway though, then someone on the other side of the planet will implement it incorrectly. The first 3 revisions won't meet the customers needs, but the customer can't move away anyway.
- fragmede 3y agoSpecifically, people in the FinTech industry should start asking for sqlite as an export format.
