CSV file structure
Standard CSV (comma-separated)

id;name;email;city;age
1;Alice Johnson;[email protected];New York;28Tab-separated (TSV)
id name email city age
1 Alice Johnson [email protected] New York 28Loading in Python (pandas)
import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_csv('users-sample.csv')
print(df.head())Frequently Asked Questions
Is the data in these CSV files real?
No. All data is generated with faker.js — realistic but entirely fictional. Email addresses use RFC 2606 reserved domains (example.com, example.org, example.net) that are guaranteed never to belong to real users. Safe to use in demos, tests, and documentation.
What columns are in the users CSV?
The users CSV contains: id, name, email, city, phone, and age. All fields contain realistic but fake data generated with faker.js.
Can I import these CSVs into a database?
Yes. The files use standard CSV format with headers. Import directly into PostgreSQL (COPY command), MySQL (LOAD DATA INFILE), SQLite, or any database that supports CSV import.
What is the difference between CSV and TSV?
CSV uses commas as delimiters, TSV uses tabs. TSV is useful when your data contains commas (e.g. addresses). Both are plain text and supported by all spreadsheet applications and data tools.
Why do you offer semicolon-separated CSV?
Many European countries use commas as decimal separators (e.g. 3,14 instead of 3.14), so European software often defaults to semicolons as CSV delimiters. We include this variant for testing European locale handling.
