What’s the Difference Between TSV and CSV Files?

Both TSV and CSV files are plain text formats for representing tabular data.

TSV (Tab-separated values): In a TSV file, each row uses a tab character (\t) as the delimiter between fields. You can think of it as pressing the “Tab” key to separate data values.

CSV (Comma-separated values): In a CSV file, each row uses a comma (,) as the delimiter between fields. Each value is separated by a half-width comma.

Though both formats serve similar purposes, the choice between TSV and CSV often depends on the data and the specific application you’re using.
