CSV vs JSON: what's the difference?

CSV stores data in rows and columns, which makes it ideal for spreadsheets and simple exports. JSON organizes data as objects and arrays, making it easier for applications and APIs to read and process structured information.

Example output

CSV:
name,email
John,john@example.com
JSON:
[
  {
    "name": "John",
    "email": "john@example.com"
  }
]
