Hi, we have this strange handling of record separator / line endings in CSV:
Users can use what ever character sequence they like as a record separator. I could for example use the ! character to mark the end of a record. Then we have CSVPrinter.printComment(String). This inserts comments into a CSV output. It detects CRLF and call println() on the CSVFormat, which in turn uses the record separator to indicate a new record... So now I'm thinking: Does it make sense to use anything else but LF or CRLF as record separator? Maybe we should deprecate CSVFormat.recordSeparator(String) and introduce a LineEnding enum where users can choose between LF and CRLF. This way we can make the behavior between parsing and printing consistent. Thoughts? Benedikt
