Aug 30, 2013 at 15:46 comment added user53141 I don't think this question is answerable without some description of the data. CSV may well make sense for certain sorts of data. (Tabular data, for instance.)

Aug 30, 2013 at 11:43 comment added Deer Hunter Mr.Withersea, your question is too vague and as such, would tend to elicit opinions instead of objective answers.
Aug 30, 2013 at 11:43 comment added thorsten müller Well, depends totally on the constraints of your project. Actually XML may add so much overhead that the tags take more size than the data itself, similar for JSON. So if size is an issue you PL may have a point. Processing those formats is only easy if there are good libraries for your tool chain, so again this may or may not be a reason. If you just want to drop some data agains a server then simple CSV may have it's place. Without more details this may become difficult to answer.
