CSV at a glance

CSV

CSV predates modern API and analytics stacks, and RFC 4180 mostly documents common practice rather than imposing one rich canonical semantics layer.

FLAC at a glance

FLAC

FLAC grew inside the Xiph open-media ecosystem and later gained a formal RFC description, which strengthened its standing as a stable open lossless format rather than a niche hobbyist codec.
