Exam DA0-001 topic 1 question 123 discussion

A. Data is separated by a delimiter. Flat text files are characterized by having data that is typically stored as plain text and separated by delimiters such as commas, tabs, or spaces. Each record in a flat text file is typically represented as a single line, and the fields within each record are separated by the chosen delimiter. This distinguishes them from other data types where data might be stored in defined rows (like in databases), defined with key-value pairs (like in JSON or YAML files), or housed in a markup language (like HTML or XML).
