Rows of String Values (RSV Data Format) Specification - A Simple Binary Alternative to CSV

Project mention: Show HN: Comma Separated Values (CSV) to Unicode Separated Values (USV) | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-12

A similar concept that is (IMHO) much nicer: RSV
It doesn't need any escaping or quoting: a field just has to be valid UTF-8.
The trick is that the delimiters are bytes that are invalid UTF-8.
The spec fits on a napkin, parsing is trivial, you can jump to the middle of a doc and find the nearest row, etc.
Main downside is you need an editor/viewer that can handle it.
