Enclosing class:

NamedCsvReader

public static final class NamedCsvReader.NamedCsvReaderBuilder
extends java.lang.Object

This builder is used to create configured instances of NamedCsvReader. The default configuration of this class complies with RFC 4180.

The line delimiter (line-feed, carriage-return or the combination of both) is detected automatically and thus not configurable.

quoteCharacter

public NamedCsvReader.NamedCsvReaderBuilder quoteCharacter(char quoteCharacter)

Sets the quoteCharacter used when reading CSV data.

Parameters:

quoteCharacter - the character used to enclose fields (default: " - double quotes).

Returns:

This updated object, so that additional method calls can be chained together.

Parameters:

commentCharacter - the character used to comment lines (default: # - hash)

skipComments

public NamedCsvReader.NamedCsvReaderBuilder skipComments(boolean skipComments)

Defines if commented rows should be detected and skipped when reading data.

Parameters:

skipComments - if commented rows should be skipped (default: true).

Returns:

This updated object, so that additional method calls can be chained together.

build

public NamedCsvReader build(java.nio.file.Path path,
                            java.nio.charset.Charset charset)
                     throws java.io.IOException

Constructs a new NamedCsvReader for the specified arguments.

Parameters:

path - the file to read data from.

charset - the character set to use.

Returns:

a new NamedCsvReader - never null. Don't forget to close it!

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if an I/O error occurs.

java.lang.NullPointerException - if path or charset is null

build

public NamedCsvReader build(java.io.Reader reader)

Constructs a new NamedCsvReader for the specified arguments.

This library uses built-in buffering, so you do not need to pass in a buffered Reader implementation such as BufferedReader. Performance may be even likely better if you do not. Use build(Path, Charset) for optimal performance when reading files.

Parameters:

reader - the data source to read from.

Returns:

a new NamedCsvReader - never null.

Throws:

java.lang.NullPointerException - if reader is null

build

public NamedCsvReader build(java.lang.String data)

Constructs a new NamedCsvReader for the specified arguments.

Parameters:

data - the data to read.

Returns:

a new NamedCsvReader - never null.

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object
