About the formats

What is XML?

XML (Extensible Markup Language) is a W3C standard for describing structured data as text, using nested tags that you define yourself. It is both human-readable and machine-readable, and supports schemas to validate documents. Many other formats are built on XML, including SVG, RSS feeds and the internals of DOCX and XLSX files.

Use XML when a system, API or industry standard requires it, such as electronic invoices, sitemaps, feeds or configuration files, or when you need strict validation with a schema. For lightweight data exchange between web applications, JSON is usually more compact.

What is CSV?

CSV (comma-separated values) is a plain-text format that stores tabular data, one row per line and fields separated by commas. It needs no special software: any text editor, spreadsheet application or database can read it. Because of its simplicity, CSV is the universal interchange format between databases, spreadsheets and other programs.

Use CSV whenever you need to move tabular data between systems, exporting a database, importing contacts or sharing a table with someone who uses different software. Choose CSV when plain, predictable data matters more than formatting.
