| Whenever I take a dataset from a spreadsheet/CSV and convert it over to something like JSON or YAML, it's always annoying to have to include every attribute in every record, rather than just having the header row like a spreadsheet. Extra annoying if you ever have to rename an attribute I've even written several one-off parsers to convert between the two. This got me wondering if there's a file format similar to YAML but where you can embed a table in a CSV/TSV-like format to improve readability if desired. |
