CSV file

CSV is a comma separated values file which stores data in table structured format.

This format is readable with any text editor such as Notepad, Microsoft Excel, Open Office Calc, etc.

Here is the example of the code from CSV file:

	Data1,Data2,Data3

	Example1,Example2,Example3

	Example1,Example2,Example3

The structure is as follows: each row is a new line and each column is separated with a comma.

In e-commerce, CSVs are used primarily for importing and exporting products, customers, and order information to and from your store.

A CSV file is an easy way to collect the data from any table and import it to a new website.

There are some basic rules accepted for CSV files such as:

• Any field may be quoted.

• All records should have the same number of fields, in the same order.

• Each of the embedded double-quote characters must be represented by a pair of double-quote characters.
