Google Drive consider .hxl extension as binary file. I did not tested, but I would assume this could means it would not try to apply compression when trying to download such datasets.
This may affect user editing files.
Here the same, but as .txt
Ok, here a tricky that make Google Drive render .hxl as text file (even somewhat can render as csv like file):
v_br_cep.tsv
v_br_cep.tsv
to v_br_cep.hxl
. It will continue to me considered an text file even if you upload a new file v_br_cep.hxl
over the old one.If using HXL on .csv
and not prefix metadata at the start of the file it will somewhat works. Good. Not perfect, but good.
With .hxl
it will not even try parse

The main objective of this issue is both document some tests with tools beyond the ones provided by the @HXLStandard organization. While often (and in fact, even HXL-Proxy seems to default to .csv extension, but remove the lines before the first heading) the .hxl files actually have more features than standard .csv. Also some tools, in special the ones that try to make auto detection of values, could get confused by the extra lines of HXL.
