CSV is comma separated variables. The data is arranged in a series of columns/fields with or without an initial header line specifying the column name/content. A newline character terminates a line of columns. Blank fields are indicated by successive commas. Other characters than a comma can be used as the field separator. It is a general non- specifiic format commonly used in data fields. names in the initial header line generally have to be mapped to specific transaction data fields during import.
QIF is a proprietary format used by Intuit in some of its products for financial/accounting data. As it is generated usually by an accounting product it generally specifies bth accounts a transaction addresses. Not familiar enough with it to know whether it handles true multisplit data for more than 2 splits. There are more complete descriptions of the file formats on Wikipedia and in QIF usually to a specification.
