CSV to TSV
This lesson is part of Web Developer Tools · All levels
Summary
CSV and TSV both store data tables, but CSV uses a comma while TSV uses the tab character as a separator. TSVs are convenient for attaching data to spreadsheets and are often used in the field of bioinformatics. When converting, use the parser so that the commas or tabs inside the value are not mistakenly considered as separators.
Key points
- CSV is using a comma, TSV is using a tab.
- Conversion should understand quotation, not just replacement of character
- Tab characters within the TSV value need to be escaped or avoided
- UTF-8 is recommended to keep Indonesian characters and symbols secure
- TSV is easily attached to a spreadsheet that separates the column from the tab
