## TSV vs CSV

|  | TSV | CSV |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Full name | Tab-Separated Values | Comma-Separated Values |
| Type | Spreadsheet | Spreadsheet |
| Extensions | .tsv | .csv |
| MIME type | text/tab-separated-values | text/csv |
| Best for | data exports and bioinformatics | data exchange between spreadsheets, databases and apps |
| Properties | open standard | open standard |

**TSV:** TSV is like CSV but separates values with tabs, which avoids problems with commas inside data.

**CSV:** CSV is plain-text tabular data with values separated by commas — the universal import/export format for spreadsheets and databases.
