Can JSON be converted directly to CSV?

Yes. JSON objects can be flattened into tabular structures where object keys become column headers and values become row entries.

Which format is best for configuration files?

YAML is typically preferred because it is human-readable and widely supported by DevOps tools.

XML supports strict schema validation and mature integration tooling, making it suitable for regulated environments.

CSV works best with flat, tabular datasets. Nested JSON structures must be flattened before conversion.
