🗂 CSV ️

Small, fast and convenient multiplatform CSV parser and builder written for one of my projects, and then shared with awesome Kotlin community.

Usage

There is no documentation for the API which consists of just three methods:

// Build CSV object using simple DSL
val csv = buildCsv {
    row {
        value("Code")
        value("Name")
    }
    row {
        value("DE")
        value("Germany")
    }
    row {
        value("BY")
        value("Belarus")
    }
}

// Export CSV object to CSV text
val csvText = csv.toCsvText()

// Parse CSV text to get a CSV object
val csv2 = Csv.parseText(csvText)

// Data structure
val allRows: List<Row> = csv2.rows
val header: HeaderRow = csv2.header
val data: List<DataRow> = csv2.data

// Transform CSV
val codes = data.map { it.value("Code") } // ["DE", "BY"]
val names = data.map { it.value("Name") } // ["Germany", "Belarus"]
