csv

fork of go's encoding/csv with extra writer options

install

go get github.com/DataDog/csv

usage

The main addition to encoding/csv is the added added UnquoteEmpty option on Writers:

type Writer struct {
    Comma        rune // Field delimiter (set to ',' by NewWriter)
    UseCRLF      bool // True to use \r\n as the line terminator
    UnquoteEmpty bool // True to not quote empty fields
}

This option allows you to forgo quotes on empty fields, which makes its output compatible with some CSV SQL dumps that differentiate between "", a blank string, and a completely empty field, which means NULL.
