rsv

rsv is the newest, hottest file format. rsv stands for rsv-separated values.

The official specification is as follows:

1. Values are separated by a new line \n
2. Rows are separated by a comma
3. Escaping is not possible

Reference implementation

As this new file format can be hard to fathom, this repository also contains a reference implementation written in go. This reference implementation reads the examples.rsv and outputs the following to stdout:
