Fluent extension methods for CSV, JSON and XML — format conversion directly on string, object and collections. Zero external dependencies.

dotnet add package MarcusMedina.Fluent.Data

Why this exists

This started as a C++ tool built for a tenant association — reading laundry-room access-tag logs to work out who kept stealing other residents' booked slots. Years later it turned into a fun assignment for my students: read the logs, identify whose tag was used, work out who went in and out and how long they stayed — extended so we could also track people entering and leaving the building itself. It's stuck with me ever since as a reminder never to get sloppy with CSV/JSON when importing real-world data.

In this case, I wanted a fluent layer solid enough that I'd trust it with real log data again, not just toy examples.
