CSV Viewer

CSV (Comma-Separated Values) is a simple text format for tabular data. Each line is a row; fields are separated by commas. Quoted fields can contain commas and newlines. CSV is widely used for data exchange, exports from databases and spreadsheets, and bulk imports.

A CSV viewer parses the raw text and displays it as a table. This makes it easier to browse, search, and sort data without opening a spreadsheet app. The viewer handles the nuances of CSV parsing: quoted fields, escaped quotes, and different line endings.

Use a CSV viewer when you need to quickly inspect a CSV file, verify its structure, search for specific values, or sort by column. It's ideal for data validation, debugging exports, and one-off analysis. For repeated analysis, consider importing into a spreadsheet or database.
