Class CSVFormat

- All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable
public final class CSVFormat extends Object implements Serializable
Specifies the format of a CSV file and parses input.Using predefined formats
You can use one of the predefined formats:
DEFAULT
EXCEL
INFORMIX_UNLOAD
INFORMIX_UNLOAD_CSV
MYSQL
RFC4180
ORACLE
POSTGRESQL_CSV
POSTGRESQL_TEXT
TDF
For example:
CSVParser parser = CSVFormat.EXCEL.parse(reader);
The
CSVParser
provides static methods to parse other input types, for example:CSVParser parser = CSVParser.parse(file, StandardCharsets.US_ASCII, CSVFormat.EXCEL);
Defining formats
You can extend a format by calling the
set
methods. For example:CSVFormat.EXCEL.withNullString("N/A").withIgnoreSurroundingSpaces(true);
Defining column names
To define the column names you want to use to access records, write:
CSVFormat.EXCEL.withHeader("Col1", "Col2", "Col3");
Calling
CSVFormat.Builder.setHeader(String...)
lets you use the given names to address values in aCSVRecord
, and assumes that your CSV source does not contain a first record that also defines column names. If it does, then you are overriding this metadata with your names and you should skip the first record by callingCSVFormat.Builder.setSkipHeaderRecord(boolean)
withtrue
.Parsing
You can use a format directly to parse a reader. For example, to parse an Excel file with columns header, write:
Reader in = ...; CSVFormat.EXCEL.withHeader("Col1", "Col2", "Col3").parse(in);
For other input types, like resources, files, and URLs, use the static methods on
CSVParser
.Referencing columns safely
If your source contains a header record, you can simplify your code and safely reference columns, by using
CSVFormat.Builder.setHeader(String...)
with no arguments:CSVFormat.EXCEL.withHeader();
This causes the parser to read the first record and use its values as column names. Then, call one of the
CSVRecord
get method that takes a String column name argument:String value = record.get("Col1");
This makes your code impervious to changes in column order in the CSV file.
