The JSON file is the canonical structured export used by the application. The CSV is generated from that file during each build, with casualty values flattened into separate columns and tags joined by semicolons. An empty casualty cell preserves a JSON null and must not be interpreted as zero.

Updates and revision caveat
The source set is reviewed for new sourced incidents and authoritative revisions every few days when coverage is active. The data-through date is the most recent incident date in the file, not the build date. The JSON and generated CSV are published together.
Conflict reporting changes as authorities and news organizations revise early accounts. Locations, classifications and casualty figures may therefore be updated in place. Users should cite the date on which they accessed the dataset and retain the source URLs needed for their analysis.
