GroovyCSV 0.2 Released

The first final release of Groovys very own CSV parsing library is out. Also, it’s up on Maven Central which should make it a lot easier to get. There have been some minor changes to the API since I posted about csv-parser the first time but the biggest change is probably the new name and package structure.

Changes since 0.1

Project renamed from csv-parser to GroovyCSV (new package-structure com.xlson.groovycsv)
Explicit close() method has been addsed to com.xlson.groovycsv.CsvIterator

Example using @Grab and custom separator

Because GroovyCSV is now up on Maven Central it’s really easy to use in your Groovy scripts. This example shows how you can make GroovyCSV available using @Grab as well as how you can use custom separators and quote character.

@Grab('com.xlson.groovycsv:groovycsv:0.2')
import com.xlson.groovycsv.CsvParser

def csv = '''Name-Lastname
Mark-'Anderson-Nielsen'
Pete-Hansen'''

def data = new CsvParser().parse(csv, separator: '-', quoteChar: "'")
for(line in data) {
    println "$line.Name $line.Lastname"
}

Output

Mark Anderson-Nielsen
Pete Hansen
