Confusion on CSV vs Tabular datatypes?
cephcyn opened this issue · comments
On first use, the CSV data node is confusing to use as most CSV files are actually what the Tabular data node is expecting. Would it make sense to change the data node names to reflect this? (e.g. CSV -> list, Tabular -> Tabular CSV or something)
That is a good point, I hadn't thought of that. By CSV we meant a comma-separated list, really. "Comma-Separated List Node" is probably a better description but too long. Alternative names:
- List of Items Node
- List Node
- Array Node
- Items Node
- Bag of Items Node
What do you think? Tabular data doesn't just load CSV so it's just fine. But I hadn't realized CSV=tabular data in many cases.
Okay, I'm going with ItemsNode. Change will be pushed soon. (Changes to the docs may lag behind...)
