Surprised to learn that CSV does actually have an IETF RFC standardising it: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4180 (handling real data is messy though)

RFC 4180: Common Format and MIME Type for Comma-Separated Values (CSV) Files

This RFC documents the format used for Comma-Separated Values (CSV) files and registers the associated MIME type "text/csv". This memo provides information for the Internet community.
