- Description
- A CSV file is a comma separated values file commonly used by spreadsheet programs such as Microsoft Excel or OpenOffice Calc. It contains plain text data sets separated by commas with each new line in the CSV file representing a new database row and each database row consisting of one or more fields separated by a comma. CSV files are often opened by spreadsheet programs to be organized into cells or used for transferring data between databases.
- A WKT file holds the shapes of a map as plain Well-Known Text, one geometry per line, such as POINT (18.068 59.329) or MULTIPOLYGON (((18.06 59.328,18.065 59.328,18.065 59.325,18.06 59.325))). It is the geometry-only form of WKT that PostGIS, shapely, QGIS and other GIS tools read.
