It was pretty straightforward (although tedious) to write custom CSV data exports in embedded C, with ZERO dependencies.
I know, I know, only old boomers care about removing pip from their code dev process, but, I'm an old boomer, so it was a great feature for me.
Straight out of libc I was able to dump data in real-time, that everyone on the latest malware OSes was able to import and analyze.
CSV is awesome!
The following are all valid CSV, and they should all mean the same thing, depending on your point of view:
1) foo, bar, foobar
2) "foo", "bar", "foobar"
3) "foo", bar, foobar
4) foo; bar; "foobar"
5) foo<TAB>bar<TAB>"foobar"
5) foo<EOL> bar<EOL foobar<EOL>
Have fun writing that parser!
Honestly if there is no comma to separate the values, then its not csv maybe Csv for character separate values or asv for anything separates values but you're right, this makes it hard how everyone is doing whatever. IMV supporting "" makes supporting anything else redundant.
