What Hacker News says
6 sourcesOne major limitation with quoted values that can this contain record delimiters (as opposed to escaping the delimiters) is that it stops systems from being able to load records in parallel.
Some systems ban embedded record delimiters, for this reason.
Btw, Iāve (previously) included at least one of your essays in āawesome csvā list at GitHub. https://github.com/secretGeek/AwesomeCSV#essays
Thereās a few specs mentioned there too ā is one of those the spec you worked on?
In Why isnāt there a decent file format for tabular data?CSV is awesome :-). Leon Bambrick curates an Awesome CSV Page [1] and another Awesome CSV Page [2] by my humble self.

In So you want to write your own CSV code (2014)I can relate. I have been one of those who started writing a CSV library and went down the rabbit hole of edge cases and configurability. Looking back (and only thinking on productivity) my time would have been better spent doing something else. I did, however, learn quite a lot along the way:
- how text is represented in a computer (and all its caveats),
- how to identify and tune slow code,
- how to vectorize code (thanks to Daniel Lemire's https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlvKAT7SZIQ ),
- how to encapsulate code better,
- how to use some great CSV tools out there (thanks to Leon's https://github.com/secretGeek/awesomeCSV )
- how to better manage and communicate an open source project.
All in all, I am still not sure it was a mistake. Moreover when Swift didn't really had, at the time, a good Codable interface to CSV. Next time I encount
Read the rest
er a similar problem I will probably just wrap a C library and create a good interface, though.
In any case, if you are coding in Swift and find yourself in need of a CSV encoder/decoder, you might want to check https://github.com/dehesa/CodableCSV
Xsv is excellent. Itās included in this list of āawesome csvā tools Iāve been collating, because I am inordinately fond of csv: https://github.com/secretGeek/AwesomeCSV/blob/master/README....
In Doing a database join with CSV filesAwesome. FYI: Find more more CSV tools at the Awesome CSV pages https://github.com/secretGeek/awesomecsv and https://github.com/csvspecs/awesome-csv Cheers. Prost.
