CSVeed is a Java library for reading Comma Separated Value (CSV) files and exposing those either as Rows or Java Beans. In order to use CSVeed in your project, simply add the following dependency:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.csveed</groupId>
<artifactId>csveed</artifactId>
<version>0.7.4</version>
</dependency>For optimal usage, make sure you have a SLF4J configured. If you have no previous SLF4J logger configured and you want to get up and running quickly, use this:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
<artifactId>slf4j-simple</artifactId>
<version>2.0.7</version>
</dependency>No time to waste, so here we go. Let us assume you have a Java Bean you want to convert your CSV rows into:
import org.csveed.annotations.CsvDate;
import java.util.Date;
public class Bean {
private String name;
private Long number;
@CsvDate(format="dd-MM-yyyy")
private Date date;
public String getName() { return name; }
public Long getNumber() { return number; }
public Date getDate() { return date; }
public void setName(String name) { this.name = name; }
public void setNumber(Long number) { this.number = number; }
public void setDate(Date date) { this.date = date; }
}Note that the Date property has been annotated with @CsvDate, one of the CSVeed annotations. This allows CSVeed to convert the CSV text value into a java.util.Date using the date format in the annotation.
Reader reader = new StringReader(
"name;number;date\n"+
"\"Alpha\";1900;\"13-07-1922\"\n"+
"\"Beta\";1901;\"22-01-1943\"\n"+
"\"Gamma\";1902;\"30-09-1978\""
);
CsvClient<Bean> csvClient = new CsvClientImpl<Bean>(reader, Bean.class);
final List<Bean> beans = csvClient.readBeans();
for (Bean bean : beans) {
System.out.println(bean.getName()+" | "+bean.getNumber()+" | "+bean.getDate());
}It's that simple to get up and running. You could also opt to declare your instructions programmatically:
Reader reader = new StringReader(
"name;number;date\n"+
"\"Alpha\";1900;\"13-07-1922\"\n"+
"\"Beta\";1901;\"22-01-1943\"\n"+
"\"Gamma\";1902;\"30-09-1978\""
);
CsvClient<Bean> csvClient = new CsvClientImpl<Bean>(reader, new BeanInstructionsImpl(Bean.class))
.setMapper(ColumnNameMapper.class)
.mapColumnNameToProperty("name", "name")
.mapColumnNameToProperty("number", "number")
.mapColumnNameToProperty("date", "date")
.setDate("date", "dd-MM-yyyy");
final List<Bean> beans = csvClient.readBeans();
for (Bean bean : beans) {
System.out.println(bean.getName()+" | "+bean.getNumber()+" | "+bean.getDate());
