So, this is not really a c# question but as I am going to create a CSV file or similar from c# I post this here anyway.
I have some data that end user wants in a CSV file. Each entry has a parent node data and zero or more child node data. For example, parent node might contain
Name, Id, Date
While child node might contain:
Name, ChildId
So, what I am searching for, is that if there is standard to represent multi level data in CSV. I mean, in XML I can easily create sub nodes but what is the best way to do this in CSV so I can create a script that extract this data without any confusion of what is parent and child data?
In XML this might look like:

<Parent Name="name2">
<Child Name="ChildName1"></Child>
<Child Name="ChildName2"></Child>
</Parent>![[glasses]](/data/assets/smilies/glasses.gif "[glasses] [glasses]")
