Examples

Reading examples

Simple case

You can read csv file by both String and java.io.File object.

val csvData: String = "a,b,c"
val rows: List<List<String>> = csvReader().readAll(csvData)

val file: File = File("test.csv")
val rows: List<List<String>> = csvReader().readAll(file)

If you want to handle line-by-line, you can use readAsSequence method and get Sequence<List<String>>.

csvReader().open("test.csv") {
    readAllAsSequence().forEach { row ->
        //Do something
        println(row) //[a, b, c]
    }
}

Read with header

val csvData: String = "a,b,c\nd,e,f"
val rows: List<Map<String, String>> = csvReader().readAllWithHeader(csvData)
println(rows) //[{a=d, b=e, c=f}]

Customize

When you create CsvReader, you can choose read options.

// this is tsv reader's option
val tsvReader = csvReader {
    charset = "ISO_8859_1"
    quoteChar = '"'
    delimiter = '\t'
    escapeChar = '\\'
}

Writing examples

Simple case

You can write csv simply, only one line. No need to call other methods. Also, You don't have to call use, close and flush method.

val rows = listOf(listOf("a", "b", "c"), listOf("d", "e", "f"))
csvWriter().open("test.csv") { writeAll(rows) }

You can also write csv file per each line. Also, You don't have to call use, close and flush method.

val row1 = listOf("a", "b", "c")
val row2 = listOf("d", "e", "f")
csvWriter().open("test.csv") { 
    writeRow(row1)
    writeRow(row2)
}

Customize

When you create CsvWriter, you can choose write options.

val writer = csvWriter {
    charset = "ISO_8859_1"
    delimiter = '\t'
    nullCode = "NULL"
    lineTerminator = "\n"
    quote {
        mode = WriteQuoteMode.ALL
        char = '\''
    }
}
