description: |
Specifies the file type to import. The default format is :term:`JSON`,
but it's possible to import :term:`csv` and :term:`tsv` files.
The ``csv`` parser accepts that data that complies with RFC
:rfc:`4180`. As a result, backslashes are *not* a valid escape
character. If you use double-quotes to enclose fields in the CSV
data, you must escape internal double-quote marks by prepending
another double-quote.
optional: true
