Convert CSV to Markdown Table

CSV (Comma-Separated Values) is a simple format for storing tabular data in plain text. Each row is a data record, and columns are separated by commas (or other delimiters).

Technical Details

CSV files represent data in a flat table structure. The first row typically contains column headers, and each subsequent row contains values. Fields containing commas, newlines, or quotes may be enclosed in double quotes.

Advantages

• Simple format that's easy to create and parse
• Universal support across spreadsheet applications
• Efficient storage for tabular data
• Human-readable and editable in text editors

Limitations

• No support for nested data structures
• No standardized way to represent data types
• Special characters may require escaping
• No built-in support for formulas or calculations

Markdown is a lightweight markup language with plain-text formatting syntax. It's designed to be easy to read, write, and convert to HTML and other formats.

Key features of Markdown include:

• Simple syntax for headings, lists, links, and emphasis
• Support for inline HTML
• Easy to learn and use, even for non-technical users
• Widely supported across various platforms and applications

Markdown is commonly used for:

• Documentation and README files
• Forum and blog posts
• Note-taking and writing
• Creating content for static site generators

While the core syntax is standardized, there are several flavors of Markdown with extended features, such as GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM) and CommonMark.
