> The fact that json can represent a superset of tabular data structures that csv is specifically designed to represent can be rephrased into that csv is more specialised than json in representing tabular data. The fact that json can also represent tabular data does not mean it is a better or more efficient way to represent that data instead of a format like csv. The reverse is true as well: being more specialized is a description of goals, not advantages.
