NesquikCSV

Fork of the Fastest-CSV gem to support different encodings. Uses native C code to parse CSV lines in MRI Ruby.

Supports standard CSV according to RFC4180. Not the so-called "csv" from Excel.

The interface is a subset of the CSV interface in Ruby 1.9.3. The options parameter is not supported.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'nesquikcsv'

And then execute:

bundle

Or install it yourself as:

gem install nesquikcsv

Usage

Parse single line

# If no encoding is specified UTF-8 is assumed
NesquikCSV.parse_line "one,two,three" 
 => ["one", "two", "three"]
NesquikCSV.parse_line "uno,dós,trés", "ASCII-8BIT"
 => ["uno", "d\xC3\xB3s", "tr\xC3\xA9s"]

Parse string in array of arrays

# Defaults to UTF-8
rows = NesquikCSV.parse(csv_data)
# Explicitly
rows = NesquikCSV.parse(csv_data, "UTF-8")
