I've gotten into using node.js with the mssql module for handling csv or xml in a stream... it does work really well, and the compatibility is pretty smooth.

I wish that line-item JSON were more popular, it's more expressive than csv, the tooling (programatic) seems to be a bit better, and much less verbose than equivalent XML, which I always had a problem with, as mapping XML to/from an object model is always more painful by comparison.

line-item utf-8 json+gz work really well for import/export data...
