Package Exports

csv-parser

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (csv-parser) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

csv-parser

Streaming csv parser inspired by binary-csv that aims to be faster than everyone else.

npm install csv-parser

csv-parser can convert CSV into JSON at at rate of around 90,000 rows per second (perf varies with data, try bench.js with your data).

Usage

Simply instantiate csv and pump a csv file to it and get the rows out as objects

You can use csv-parser in the browser with browserify

var csv = require('csv-parser')

fs.createReadStream('some-csv-file.csv')
  .pipe(csv())
  .on('data', function(data) {
    console.log('row', data)
  })

The data emitted is a normalized JSON object

The csv constructor accepts the following options as well

var stream = csv({
  raw: false,    // do not decode to utf-8 strings
  separator: ',', // specify optional cell separator
  newline: '\n' // specify a newline character
})

Command line tool

There is also a command line tool available. It will convert csv to line delimited JSON.

npm install -g csv-parser

Open a shell and run

$ csv-parser --help # prints all options
$ printf "a,b\nc,d\n" | csv-parser # parses input
