Emmanuel Bourg commented on CSV-107:
------------------------------------
Handling the BOMs is outside the scope of commons-csv IMHO. The BOMs should be
checked ahead of the CSVParser to build a proper input Reader (using
{{BOMInputStream}} for example. We should probably add a BOM aware
InputStreamReader in common-io btw).
> CSVFormat.EXCEL.parse should handle byte order marks

> Key: CSV-107
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CSV-107
> Project: Commons CSV
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Parser
> Affects Versions: 1.0
> Reporter: Kenzley Alphonse
> Priority: Critical
> Attachments: vod.csv
>
> Original Estimate: 3h
> Remaining Estimate: 3h
>
> The CSVFormat.EXCEL.parse should consider the byte order marks when reading
> the input stream. Files with a byte order mark fail to properly parse.
> In my example, I have a starting byte order mark before my headers in a CVS
> file. The parse fails when trying to get the header via the CSVRecord.get
> call.
> I marked this as critical because many users will interact with Windows user
> which will most likely have BOM files.
