Jay Zylstra created CSV-109:
-------------------------------
Summary: Support external CSV schema definition
Key: CSV-109
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CSV-109
Project: Commons CSV
Issue Type: Wish
Components: Parser
Affects Versions: 1.0
Reporter: Jay Zylstra
Priority: Minor
As XML has XSD, so CSV needs an external schema definition file which defines
the schema of the flat file format and the values it contains.
Programmatically adding constraints, as supported by
{{org.supercsv.cellprocessor.constraint.StrRegEx}}, are useful but not
portable. Fortunately, Microsoft has already created such a CSV schema
definition file format called
[Schema.ini|http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms709353(v=vs.85).aspx].
It is my suggestion to add file and data parsing validation to Apache Commons
CSV by adopting support for _Schema.ini_, bringing this long overdue
functionality to the Java world.
