About:
Modern CSV is a spreadsheet application specifically designed for handling large and complex CSV files efficiently. It provides fast data manipulation, filtering, and transformation capabilities without the overhead of traditional spreadsheet software. The tool focuses on data cleaning, analysis, and conversion tasks for developers and data professionals.
Key Features:
  • Fast loading and processing of large CSV files
  • Advanced filtering, sorting, and data transformation tools
  • Data cleaning features including duplicate removal and value standardization
  • Command-line interface for automation
  • Support for multiple encodings and delimiters
Use Cases:
  • Cleaning and preparing large datasets for analysis
  • Converting CSV files between different formats and encodings
  • Quick data inspection and filtering without loading into a full database
Alternatives:
  • Microsoft Excel – Excel is a full-featured spreadsheet but slower with large CSVs and has auto-formatting issues
  • VisiData – VisiData is a powerful terminal tool but has a steeper learning curve and text-based interface
  • OpenRefine – OpenRefine is excellent for data cleaning but requires a browser and is more complex to set up
