Decimal	`1234.56 (number)`	`1234.56`
Float	`1.234e10 (number)`	`1.234e+10`
Text	`"text" (string)`	`quoted only when it contains a comma or a quote`
Long text	`"multi-line\ntext" (escaped newline inside a string)`	`must be quoted; line breaks inside force multi-line records`
Date	`"2026-09-18" (string)`	`2026-09-18`
Datetime	`"2026-09-18T14:30:00Z" (string)`	`2026-09-18 14:30:00`
Binary	`"base64:..." (string)`	`not representable - base64 or hex string`
Boolean	`true / false (boolean)`	`TRUE / FALSE, or 1 / 0 depending on the writer`

identifiers	`Double quotes; backslash escapes`	`Double quotes; a literal quote is doubled ("" )`
dates	`No date type: dates arrive as strings and the reader must p...`	`Conventional text: 2026-09-18 or 2026-09-18 14:30:00`
binary	`Not supported natively - base64 inside a string`	`Not supported`
separator	`Braces and commas`	`Comma ","`
encoding	`UTF-8 by definition`	`No declaration - UTF-8 works only with a BOM`
typing	`string, number, boolean, null, object, array - no date type`	`None - every field is text`

ceiling	`Whole document is usually parsed into memory`	`No formal limit; row count bounded by memory`
