Delimited-File-Formats is a project mainly written in RUBY and JAVASCRIPT, based on the MIT license.

An educational site around delimited file formats

D E L I M I T E D F I L E F O R M A T S

This site is an education landing page that's meant to provide basic information about the two major delimited file formats: CSV and TSV. The idea is that a lot of people don't understand exactly what a CSV file is exactly, or how to check that the CSV file is valid.

You can see the live site at delimitedfileformats.info

  • Check out the latest master to make sure the feature hasn’t been implemented or the bug hasn’t been fixed yet
  • Check out the issue tracker to make sure someone already hasn’t requested it and/or contributed it
  • Fork the project
  • Start a feature/bugfix branch
  • Commit and push until you are happy with your contribution
  • Make sure to add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.
  • Please try not to mess with the Rakefile, version, or history. If you want to have your own version, or is otherwise necessary, that is fine, but please isolate to its own commit so I can cherry-pick around it.
