Gary Gregory commented on CSV-110:
----------------------------------
I played with some code in this area yesterday. I need to think about it more.
It does not need to be for 1.0 since the current patch is all new code that
does not add to existing classes. It feels like a layer on top.
> 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.
