When do I need to convert TSV to CSV?

Many tools and APIs expect CSV format rather than TSV. Converting lets you use TSV exports from databases or spreadsheets in applications that only accept CSV.

Are fields containing commas quoted?

Yes. Any field that contains a comma is automatically wrapped in double quotes in the CSV output, ensuring the file remains valid according to RFC 4180.

What if my field already contains double quotes?

Any double-quote character inside a field value is escaped by doubling it ("") before the field is wrapped in quotes, producing valid CSV output.
