Comma Seperated Values

In the middle of document format war’s, a breather for developers trying to export operational data (later to be used in spreadsheet

application).

If text/xml is still under way to be accepted, then lets switch over to plain text. CSV comes in handy at this point.

Incase we want to export / Render data in web, we are just java script distance away from it. There are beautiful regular expression

notes available in the web.

Recently i saw in a web based free personal accounts tool which exports data as CSV. I guess they would have thought over for a

long time to choose between various commercial formats. And finally settle over plain text.

Even though CVS are not opted when it comes to the styles element, still a useful option to survive the web.
