purescript-simple-csv

This package provides the feature to parse string into CSV and print CSV into string. Parsing and printing in this package are based on RFC4180 that means:

  • field may or may not be enclosed by double-quotes but if the field contains line breaks, double quotes or commas, it's always enclosed by double quotes like "hello, world"
  • double quote inside field is escaped by preceding double-quote like "b""bb"

But for the sake of "simple but usefull as much as possible" policy, it's not fully compliant with RFC4180 like:

  • line breaks can be CR, LF or CRLF on parsing
  • header is not handled by this library itself. CSV type is just alias for Array (Array String) and it may or may not contain header
  • the number of fields on each record can differ. It's not checked at all on parsing and printing.
  • the last record in the file may or may not have an ending line break. This means parsing "aaa,bbb,ccc CRLF" becomes [["aaa", "bbb", "ccc"]] instead of [["aaa", "bbb", "ccc"], [""]]
  • if you try to parse "", it returns [] instead of [[""]]

TSV(Tab-Separated Values) is also supported and the spec is basically the same as the CSV one described above.
