parse_csv

Builtin index · File I/O

result = parse_csv(str)

Input: str · Output: result

What it is

Converts str (string, CSV text) to a Table — exactly read_csv's own parsing (Table::from_csv, the headers=true, sep=",", decimal="." defaults; use read_csv on a real file for the headers=/sep=/decimal= keyword arguments).

Overloads

One call shape — this function is not overloaded.

Code	Input	Output	Description
`result = parse_csv(str)`	`str` string or Tablenot documented yet	`result` Table	Returns a `Table`.

Examples

From the documentation, and run by the build -- the output and the figure below are what the engine actually produced. Simplest first.

t = parse_csv("product,price\nWidget,9.99\nGadget,4.50\n")

csv_text = csvify(t)
json_text = jsonify(t)

back_from_json = json2csv(json_text)   # csvify(parse_json(json_text))

print(back_from_json)

xml_from_csv = csv2xml(csv_text)       # xmlify(parse_csv(csv_text))

csv_from_xml = xml2csv(xml_from_csv)   # csvify(parse_xml(xml_from_csv))

print(csv_from_xml)

xml_from_json = json2xml(json_text)    # xmlify(parse_json(json_text))

json_from_xml = xml2json(xml_from_json) # the row-object array, not jsonify(parse_xml(...))

parsed = parse_json(json_from_xml)      # parse_json accepts that shape too -- back to a real Table

print(nrow(parsed))                     # 2
