True story: when I worked at a US Govt contractor from 2017-2021, they
created all kinds of alternatives to the XML submission formats that
were primarily designed...because not many people want to work with
XML. Experience speaks volumes with that one.

If you think it's tough getting customers to properly format a CSV, try XML or
JSON...

And see my last thread about the CSV "standard" a few months ago.
There are regional formats for CSVs.

Till users put in commas because they are needed Last name, first name.
Or commas in dollar amounts. Yeah those are some of my joys.

You wont get rid of the CSV anytime soon. It reminds me of the
University Professor who declared that email was old-hat and 'dead'
and so sent out the schedule for lectures on social media. Half of
the students didn’t arrive because they didn’t get it.
If it aint broke, don’t fix it. And CSV, for all its limitations,
aint broke.

However, if the data is stable and never changes in format then
using CSV is perfectly acceptable as well as quick.
I must admit I have never liked using double quotes or single quotes
as terminating characters for strings and prefer to use the pipe
symbol | as a prefix/suffix for strings as it should never be
present in operator generated data.
As they say, if it ain't broken then don't fix it ........ but if it
has never worked then generate a better solution in the first place!
