CSVParser

A parser for CSV (comma-separated value) data. This format is extensively used to retrieve data for further 3D visualization in e-commerce, data analytics, and data science.

Methods

.parse(s : String, dialect : Object) → Array

s — input data in textual form.
dialect — CSV dialect.

dialect is a JavaScript object with the following structure:

const dialect = { delimiter: ",", // columns delimeter character doublequote: true, // allow double quotes lineterminator: "\n", // line terminator character quotechar: '"', // quotation character skipinitialspace: true, // skip initial space in input string skipinitialrows: 0 // skip initial row (e.g. used to represet column labels) };

Parse CSV string and return an array of rows. Each row is also an array which represents columns of the input data.
