--------------------------
Summary: Support for csvw format
Key: CSV-230
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CSV-230
Project: Commons CSV
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Parser
Reporter: lbruun
Since the dawn of days usage of the CSV format has been plagued by the lack of
standardization. Sure we've had RFC4180 but it stops short of defining many
things that allows a consumer to correctly interpret a CSV file.
The [csvw|https://www.w3.org/TR/tabular-data-model/] is a fairly new standard
from W3 which aims to fix all of this. It defines the format of a (basically
the RFC4180) but in addition defines how metadata for a CSV file should be
conveyed.
The csvw standard is a completed standard. It is not work-in-progress.
Don't be fooled by its name: "CSV on the web" it applies equally so in the
system-to-system space.
