CSV Data Stream Parameters

The CSV plugin provides data streams for importing and visualizing tabular data from CSV files or raw CSV text. You can load data from web URLs or local files on Windows and Linux systems, or directly paste CSV content.

With options for headers, custom delimiters, line skipping, and certificate handling, these streams give you flexible control over how CSV data is ingested and displayed for analysis and visualization.
