Csv Reader is an extremely fast and stable java class for stream based parsing of virtually any commonly found delimited data format, CSV files, tab delimited files, etc.

It's usable from C#, VB.Net, ASP.Net, or any other .Net language. It's compatible with the 1.0 .Net framework, 1.1, 2.0, and even the .Net Compact Framework. The methods are designed for ease of use, while the inner architecture is designed purely for speed and efficiency.

Parsing is done using the de facto standard CSV file specifications.
It handles quoted fields, delimiters in the data, and even data that spans across multiple lines. Data can be parsed in less than half of the time of any other parser it has been benchmarked against.

Here are some key features of "Csv Parser for Java":

· Stream based file parsing allowing for parsing of large files without storing the entire file contents in memory
· Simple reader pattern movement through file
· Simple access to field data by index or by field name
· Internal parsing using arrays instead of strings for fast looping over large files
· Uses built in framework functionality to handle most encoding issues instead of guessing or hardcoding
· Includes a CSV writer to ease the worries while creating CSV data. No more needing to worry about what to replace with what to match up with delimiters, text qualifiers, etc.


What's New in This Release:

· Added Flush method to CsvWriter.
· Added more complex backslash character escapes like ### and o### Octal, x## Hex, d### Decimal, and u#### Unicode.


Requirements:

· jdk 1.4+
