Store Scraped Data in CSV Format

CSV overview

CSV (comma-separated values) is a simple and widely used file format for storing and exchanging tabular data. It provides a straightforward way to represent structured data, such as tables, where each line in the file corresponds to a row, and the values within each row are separated by commas.

CSV files are plain text files that can be easily generated and parsed by various programming languages and tools. Their simplicity makes them lightweight and efficient, making them an excellent choice for exporting scraped data.

When exporting scraped data in CSV format, each row typically represents a record, and each column represents a specific attribute or field of the data. The first row of the CSV file often contains column headers describing the data in each column.
