sv

sv (separated values) is a library for parsing, decoding, encoding, and printing CSV and similar formats (such as PSV, TSV, and many more). sv uses an Applicative combinator style for decoding and encoding, rather than a type class based approach. This means we can have multiple decoders for the same type, multiple combinators of the same type, and we never have to worry about orphan instances. These decoders can be stitched together from provided primitives and combinators, or you can build one from a parser from your favourite parser combinator library. For parsing, sv uses hw-dsv, a high performance streaming CSV parser based on rank-select data structures. sv works with UTF-8, and should work with CP-1252 as well. It does not work with UTF-16 or UTF-32. sv returns values for all errors that occur - not just the first. Errors have more structure than just a string, indicating what went wrong. sv tries not to be opinionated about how your data should look. We intend for the user to have a great degree of freedom to build the right decoder for their dataset. Parts of sv are intended to be imported as follows: Examples: Decoding a real CSV: Species.lhs Decoding by column name: Columnar.hs Encoding data to a CSV: Encoding.hs Encoding data to a CSV with a header: EncodingWithHeader.hs Handling NULL and Unknown occuring in a column of numbers: Numbers.hs Dealing with non-rectangular data: Ragged.hs Integrating with an existing attoparsec parser to read date stamps: TableTennis.hs To get the best performance, the hw-dsv parser and its dependencies underlying sv should be compiled with the flag +bmi2 to enable . These libraries are: bits-extra, hw-rankselect, hw-rankselect-base, and hw-dsv. A simple way to set the flags for all of them when building with cabal is to include a cabal.project file in your project containing something like the following: [Index] [Quick Jump] For package maintainers and hackage trustees
