ByteDev.Csv 1.0.0

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 and SO.

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.

Code

The repo can be cloned from git bash:

git clone https://github.com/ByteDev/ByteDev.Csv

Usage

Simple example of writing and reading a CSV file:

// Write out a CSV file
var header = new CsvFileLine("Name,Age");

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

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

// Read in a CSV file
var 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);
