# jc.parsers.csv
jc - JSON CLI output utility `csv` file parser
The `csv` parser will attempt to automatically detect the delimiter character. If the delimiter cannot be detected it will default to comma. The first row of the file must be a header row.
Usage (cli):
$ cat file.csv | jc --csv
Usage (module):
import jc.parsers.csv
result = jc.parsers.csv.parse(csv_output)
Compatibility:
'linux', 'darwin', 'cygwin', 'win32', 'aix', 'freebsd'
Examples:
$ cat homes.csv
"Sell", "List", "Living", "Rooms", "Beds", "Baths", "Age", "Acres", "Taxes"
142, 160, 28, 10, 5, 3, 60, 0.28, 3167
175, 180, 18, 8, 4, 1, 12, 0.43, 4033
129, 132, 13, 6, 3, 1, 41, 0.33, 1471
...
$ cat homes.csv | jc --csv -p
