Class CSVFormat

java.lang.Object
nl.colorize.util.stats.CSVFormat
public class CSVFormat extends Object
Describes the format of a CSV file, which is necessary since the CSV file format is not fully standardized. Instances of the format can then be used to parse CSV files into CSVRecords, or to serialize records into CSV files.

Note: This class is intended for basic CSV support. When working with CSV files produced by other applications, prefer using the FastCSV library.

    • toCSV

      public String toCSV(List<String> cells)

      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if the record does not contain at least one cell.

    • toCSV

      public String toCSV(String... cells)
      Serializes the specified record using this CSV format. The serialized line will end with a trailing line separator. This method can be used for both rows and headers, since CSV files do not differentiate between the two apart from their location within the file.
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if the record does not contain at least one cell.

    • toCSV

      public String toCSV(CSVRecord record)
      Serializes the specified record using this CSV format. The serialized line will end with a trailing line separator.
