What is TSV File Format?

A tab-separated values (TSV) file is a straightforward text format used to store data in a structured manner, resembling a table found in a database or spreadsheet. Each row of the table is stored as a separate line, and the columns within the row are separated by a tab character. This format offers simplicity and ease of processing, as TSV files can be manipulated using a text editor or a basic script. Although there are no formal standards governing TSV files, they have gained extensive popularity and are widely supported by numerous applications.

TSV files provide several advantages for data storage and manipulation. Firstly, their plain text format ensures compatibility across different platforms and operating systems. Whether you’re using Windows, macOS, or Linux, TSV files can be easily accessed and processed without the need for specialized software. Additionally, the tab character used as a delimiter makes it effortless to parse and extract specific data from TSV files programmatically.

Moreover, TSV files facilitate data exchange between different applications. Many software tools, such as spreadsheet programs, database management systems, and statistical analysis software, offer built-in support for importing and exporting data in the TSV format. This enables seamless interoperability, allowing users to transfer data between diverse systems without loss of information.
