C# CSV parsing options
The question of finding a good free C# CSV parser available under a permissive license comes up often, and looking for a corresponding version of SuperCSV in Java might be a useful idea. One potential solution worth considering is the FileHelpers open source library.
FileHelpers open source library
FileHelpers is an open source library for C# that provides functions for parsing and writing CSV files. Its permissive license makes it free for commercial and non-commercial use. The library has the following features:
Install
To install the FileHelpers library you can use the NuGet package manager:
<code>Install-Package FileHelpers</code>
How to use
Once installed, you can use the FileHelpers library to parse CSV files by defining a custom class to represent the data in the file. For example:
<code>[DelimitedRecord(",")] public class Person { public string FirstName { get; set; } public string LastName { get; set; } public int Age { get; set; } }</code>
You can then use the FileHelpers helper class to parse the file:
<code>var engine = new FileHelperEngine<Person>(); var people = engine.ReadFile("people.csv");</code>
The people variable will now contain a collection of Person objects, representing the data from the CSV file.
