# CSV

> Overview of CSV configuration for the DLC, covering the CSV Topic Description for file format and the Local, AWS, Azure, and GCP CSV Sources for file location.

In this context, a CSV file also covers any delimited text file, such as a tab-separated `.tsv` file.

<Note>
  A CSV file, in this context, also covers any text file in a columnar format, where each row represents a record and
  uses a delimiter for separating values.

  For example, a tab-separated file, with the file extension `.tsv`.
