README

          
Streaming CSV parser.  

Beyond the basics, ecsv supports:

  * Custom quote characters

  * Custom separator

  * Headers in separate file

# FAST

Parses about 24,700 rows per second in my rudimentary tests.

# HOW TO USE

    require 'ecsv'

    

    // Basic Parsing

    ecsv.each('myfile.csv', function(item, idx) {

      sys.puts(sys.inspect(item))

    }, null, { headers: true})

    

    // Special quote character

    ecsv.each('cands10.csv', function(item) {

      sys.puts(sys.inspect(item))

    }, finalize, { headers: true, quoteChar: '|'})

    // Headers in separate file (one header per each line)

    ecsv.each('indivs10.csv', function(item) {

      // sys.puts(sys.inspect(item))

    },  finalize, { headerFile: 'headers.txt', quoteChar: '|'})

# TODO

* Upgrade the limited test suite to use one of the newer testing frameworks.

* Look into going the EventEmitter route 

    ecsv.parse(file)

      .on('row', fn)

      .on('end', fn)
