Me thinks the choice for csv is based on the following: CSV
CSV is designed for use by very simple embedded devices, such as an Arduino or other low powered microcontroller. It contains none of the metadata that the XML and JSON formats contain (though this can be added separately using the API or the web interface). A full representation of CSV is as follows: 7441,1,2010-06-01T12:01:32.1Z,123 7441,2,2010-06-01T12:01:32.1Z,456 <feed_id>,<datastream_id>,<timestamp>,<value> Makes sense to me A. -- "A Few of us were left" w: http://nictoglobe.com (publication) w: http://burgerwaanzin.nl (net-art) w: http://nictoglobe.com/new/agam (artworks) w: http://nictoglobe.com/frictionresearch (research) e: [email protected] e: [email protected] On Thu, September 15, 2011 16:32, Andreas Maria Jacobs wrote: > Hi again > > regarding the choice for csv or json/xml it is not an issue. > > Whether parse xml/json or csv is dependent on your technical abilities, > and that is something we all can learn. > > Pachube is giving a very terse explanation full of examples etc etc > > my csv output is as follows: > > OUTPUT,2011-09-15T14:24:44.007042Z,B U R G E R W A A N Z I N .
