cassava-0.5.3.2: A CSV parsing and encoding library

Data.Csv.Parser

Description

A CSV parser. The parser defined here is RFC 4180 compliant, with the following extensions:

- Empty lines are ignored.
- Non-escaped fields may contain any characters except double-quotes, commas, carriage returns, and newlines.
- Escaped fields may contain any characters (but double-quotes need to be escaped).

The functions in this module can be used to implement e.g. a resumable parser that is fed input incrementally.

Synopsis

- data DecodeOptions = DecodeOptions {
  - decDelimiter :: !Word8
  }
- defaultDecodeOptions :: DecodeOptions
- csv :: DecodeOptions -> Parser Csv
- csvWithHeader :: DecodeOptions -> Parser (Header, Vector NamedRecord)
- header :: Word8 -> Parser Header
- record :: Word8 -> Parser Record
- name :: Word8 -> Parser Name
- field :: Word8 -> Parser Field

# Documentation

data DecodeOptions #

Options that controls how data is decoded. These options can be used to e.g. decode tab-separated data instead of comma-separated data.

To avoid having your program stop compiling when new fields are added to `DecodeOptions`, create option records by overriding values in `defaultDecodeOptions`. Example:

    myOptions = defaultDecodeOptions {
          decDelimiter = fromIntegral (ord '\t')
        }

Fields

- decDelimiter :: !Word8

  Field delimiter.

defaultDecodeOptions :: DecodeOptions #

Decoding options for parsing CSV files.

csv :: DecodeOptions -> Parser Csv #

Parse a CSV file that does not include a header.

csvWithHeader :: DecodeOptions -> Parser (Header, Vector NamedRecord) #

Parse a CSV file that includes a header.

header #

Arguments

:: Word8 | Field delimiter
-> Parser Header |

Parse a header, including the terminating line separator.

record #

Arguments

:: Word8 | Field delimiter
-> Parser Record |

Parse a record, not including the terminating line separator. The terminating line separate is not included as the last record in a CSV file is allowed to not have a terminating line separator. You most likely want to use the `endOfLine` parser in combination with this parser.

name :: Word8 -> Parser Name #

Parse a header name. Header names have the same format as regular `field`s.

field :: Word8 -> Parser Field #

Parse a field. The field may be in either the escaped or non-escaped format. The return value is unescaped.
