What is NDJSON?

One JSON object per line, with no wrapping array. That small change is the whole point: a program can read a record at a time instead of parsing gigabytes into memory first, which is why log pipelines, bulk importers and search indexes all speak it.

What is CSV?

The least glamorous and most durable data format there is: rows of values separated by commas, readable by every spreadsheet and database ever written. All its subtlety is in quoting - a value with a comma in it has to be wrapped in quotes, and a quote inside that has to be doubled.
