FAQ
What converters are available?
When to use this command?
Use this command when you want to convert from USV to CSV.
A typical use case is when you have USV data, such as a collection of units and records, and you want to convert it to CSV data, such as for a spreadsheet import.
Our real-world use case is converting a bunch of USV document-oriented data from a variety of programs, including a CMS, to USV so we're better-able to import the data into Excel.
Why use USV instead of CSV?
See the documentation for USV.
Is USV aiming to become a standard?
Yes, USV is submitted to IETF.org as an Internet-Draft work in progress: link.
Can I build my own USV tools?
Yes, and you may freely use the USV RFC and USV Rust crate.
