Usage

Example of reading an existing CSV file:

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:

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

var body = new CsvFileBody(new List<CsvFileLine> 
{
	new CsvFileLine("John,20"), 
	new CsvFileLine("Joe,30")
});

var csvFile = new CsvFile(header, body);

ICsvFileWriter writer = new CsvFileWriter();

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