- layer8 3y agoThe problem is there is no uniform standard for quoting and escaping in CSV, and different software uses different variants.
- Dylan16807 3y agoThere is a standard, and it is very simple and easy to use. Different software uses different variants because we're not allowed to have nice things and devs are too lazy to use something slightly more complicated than .split(',') Though if you're going to ban some common characters anyway like TSV, you might as well use CSV and ban commas, newlines, and quotation marks.
