opencsv 1.0 Released

Adds the Capability to Supply Custom Separator and Quote Chars

Oct. 8, 2005 10:00 PM

Glen Smith, the developer of opencsv has announced the release of version 1.0 of csv parser library opencsv. Talking about the release on his blog, Smith says, "Ending my obsession with all things comma-delimited, I've deployed 1.0 final of opencsv to Sourceforge. This version adds the capability to supply custom separator and quote chars, and pretty much rounds out everything I want to do with CSV. "

opencsv is a very simple Open Source Java CSV (comma-separated values) parser library for Java under commercial-friendly license.

opencsv supports all the basic csv-type things developers would want to do, Smith says:

Arbitrary numbers of values per line
Ignoring commas in quoted elements
Handling quoted entries with embedded carriage returns (ie entries that span multiple lines)
Configurable separator and quote characters (or use sensible defaults)
Read all the entries at once, or use an Iterator style model

opencsv was initally developed because current CSV parsers don't have commercial-friendly licenses. Incidentally, Smith developed opencsv in a couple of hours.
