JSON and CSV in brief
- JSON is the data format behind web APIs and JavaScript apps: records made of named fields that can sit inside one another.
- CSV is a table saved as plain text: one line per row, with commas separating the values. Excel, Google Sheets, online banking and most databases export it.
Worth knowing
- There's no software to install and no account to create. Everything runs inside the browser tab, so it behaves the same on Windows, Mac, Linux, iPhone, Android and Chromebook.
