Fluent CSV

Fluent and Flexible CSV Framework

Get it

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.github.XDean</groupId>
    <artifactId>fluent-csv</artifactId>
    <version>1.x</version>
</dependency>

Sample

You have a space-delimited file:

people.csv

id name desc
1 Mike 'Football&Basketball'
2 Dan 'Swim and walk'
3 Alex  

We can define domain class:

Person.java

@CsvConfig(splitor = ' ', quoter='\'')
class Person{
  @CSV
  int id;
  
  @CSV
  String name;
  
  @CSV(name="desc", optional=true, defaultValue="No Description")
  String description;
}

Then read data by FluentCSV

FluentCSV.create()
  .readConfig(Person.class) // read the class's CSV config
  .readBean(Person.class) // read as bean
  .from(Paths.get("people.csv")) // from the file
  .forEach(System.out::println);

You will get:

Sample.Person(id=1, name=Mike, description=Football&Basketball)
Sample.Person(id=2, name=Dan, description=Swim and walk)
Sample.Person(id=3, name=Alex, description=No Description)
