# ByteDev.Csv

Simple library to help in the reading and writing of CSV formatted content.

**Note:** this is just a pet project and has not been tested with large CSV data sets.

There are lots of other .NET CSV readers/writers out there, see: [Google](https://www.google.com/search?q=c%23+best+csv+reader)

and [StackOverflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1941392/are-there-any-csv-readers-writer-libraries-in-c).

## Installation

ByteDev.Csv has been written as a .NET Standard 2.0 library, so you can consume it from a .NET Core or .NET Framework 4.6.1 (or greater) application.

ByteDev.Csv is hosted as a package on nuget.org.  To install from the Package Manager Console in Visual Studio run:

`Install-Package ByteDev.Csv`

Further details can be found on the [nuget page](https://www.nuget.org/packages/ByteDev.Csv/).

## Release Notes

Releases follow semantic versioning.

Full details of the release notes can be viewed on [GitHub](https://github.com/ByteDev/ByteDev.Csv/blob/master/docs/RELEASE-NOTES.md).

## Usage

Example of reading an existing CSV file:

```csharp

ICsvFileReader reader = new CsvFileReader();

CsvFile csvFile = reader.ReadFile(@"C:\people.csv", new CsvFileReaderOptions { HasHeader = true });

Console.WriteLine(csvFile.Header.Line);

Console.WriteLine(csvFile.Body.Lines[0].Line);

Console.WriteLine(csvFile.Body.Lines[1].Line);

```

Example of creating and writing a CSV file:

```csharp

var header = new CsvFileLine("Name,Age");

var body = new CsvFileBody(new List 

{

	new CsvFileLine("John,20"), 

	new CsvFileLine("Joe,30")

});

var csvFile = new CsvFile(header, body);

ICsvFileWriter writer = new CsvFileWriter();

writer.Write(@"C:\people.csv", csvFile);

```
