What is CSV file extension:

The CSV file extension is associated with Comma Separated Value format.

A comma-separated values file is a simple text format for a database table. Each line in the CSV file corresponds to a row in the table. Within the line, fields are separated by commas, each field belonging to one table column. The CSV is a simple file format that is supported by many applications. The .csv files are often used for moving tabular data between two different computer programs, for example between a database program and a spreadsheet program.

First CSV files appeared in early 70s, and as such predate any currently used technology.

However the format is still popular even today and used for various purposes, such as used as an export / import format for contacts in Microsoft Oultook and Live Messenger.
