JarCastingCSV-Parser
Parse csv files and other seperated values using java.
Limitations
Currently all primitive types are suppported, plus LocalDate and LocalDateTime.
To use primitive types you must use the boxed types.
How to use?
Add to your depenencies
<dependency>
<groupId>com.github.timo-reymann</groupId>
<artifactId>csv-parser</artifactId>
<version>4.0.0</version>
</dependency>
Create your bean class
Please keep in mind that you need an zero-args constructor for this parser to work properly!
... using the index for mapping
@Data
public class MyBean {
@CsvColumn(index = 0)
private Integer id;
@CsvColumn(index = 1)
private String firstName;
@CsvColumn(index = 2)
private String lastName;
@CsvColumn(index = 3)
private String email;
@CsvColumn(index = 4)
private String gender;
@CsvColumn(index = 5)
private String ip;
}
... using the heading for mapping
@Data
class MyBean {
@CsvColumn(headerName="id")
private Integer id;
@CsvColumn(headerName="first_name")
private String firstName;
@CsvColumn(headerName="last_name")
private String lastName;
@CsvColumn(headerName="email")
private String email;
@CsvColumn(headerName="gender")
private String gender;
@CsvColumn(headerName="ip_address")
private String ip;
}
Write csv file
CsvWriter<MyBean> writer = new CsvWriter.Builder<MyBean>()
.forClass(MyBean.class) // entity class
.file(new File("customers.csv")) // file
.outputStream(myInputStream) // or even stream, but ATTENTION: an OutputStream will always be overwritten
.noAppend() // replace file every time
.build();
// Create bean and set values
MyBean myBean = new MyBean();
myBean.setId(1);
myBean.setFirstName("Foo");
myBean.setLastName("Bar");
myBean.setEmail("foo@bar.com");
myBean.setGender("christmasTree");
myBean.setIp("127.0.0.1");
// Map object and add to file buffer
writer.writeLine(myBean);
// Write changes to disk
writer.close();
Read csv file
CsvReader<MyBean> reader = new CsvReader.Builder<MyBean>()
.forClass(MyBean.class) // bean class object
.file(new File("test.csv")) // specify file
.inputStream(myInputStream) // or even stream
.hasHeading() // file has headings
.build();
// Read all lines and print to console
reader.lines().forEach(System.out::println);
Supported java versions
The parser is compatible with Java 11+.
If you need support for java 8 you must use version <= 3.1.0
There are only two things for you to do:
- Add to your module:
requires com.github.timo_reymann.csv_parser - Open your package for reflection containing bean classes like this:
opens my.entities to com.github.timo_reymann.csv_parser
Thats it!
