--------------------------------
Summary: Add ability to parse single lines
Key: CSV-110
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CSV-110
Project: Commons CSV
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Gabriel Reid
Due to the iterator-based API of CSVParser, there is currently no simple and
convenient way to parse single lines of CSV-formatted data. The intention of
this ticket is to add something along the lines of the following:
{code}
CSVLineParser lineParser = new CSVLineParser(csvFormat);
String singleLine = "a,b,c";
CSVRecord singleRecord lineParser.parseLine(singleLine);
{code}
The use case of parsing single lines comes up very often in terms of
distributed batch processing scenarios (i.e. Hadoop jobs), and CSV-style
formats are also regularly used in such scenarios. Currently, projects are
often forced to build their own ad-hoc CSV parsing solutions, so adding the
ability to parse single lines to commons-csv would be very useful to these
projects, as well as anyone doing parsing based on input that isn't necessary
in the form of a single stream.
