Not a valid FHIR serialization format?

Explanation:
The formats FHIR defines for exchanging resources are JSON and XML, with RDF (Turtle) also available for semantic web use. CSV is not a native or standard FHIR serialization because it cannot reliably represent the complex, nested structure of FHIR resources, including elements, sub-elements, arrays, and references. CSV is flat and tabular, which makes it unsuitable for encoding the rich resource graphs and metadata that FHIR expects. If you need tabular output, you’d typically map or export data to CSV via a separate transformation, but that is not a standard FHIR serialization.
