JSON vs CSV: Which One Should You Use for Your Data Needs? or JSON vs CSV: What Are the Key Differenc

Opinionated rant: CSV is overrated for anything beyond basic tables. JSON’s structure makes it self-documenting—you can see the relationships right away.

Ever tried merging CSVs with slightly different columns? Pain. JSON’s key-value pairs avoid that mess.

But yeah, CSV is faster for import/export in tools like Excel or SQL.

Check out `jq` for JSON manipulation—it’s like grep but for json.
