A CSV parser for node.js

To install node-csv, use npm:

$ npm install node-csv

Usage

var csv = require('node-csv').createParser();

var csv_str = "1,2,3\n4,5,6";

csv.parse(csv_str, function(err, data) {

    console.log(data); //Outputs: [[1,2,3],[4,5,6]]
    
});

// or

csv.parseFile('./test.csv', function(err, data) {
    console.log(data);
});

createParser() takes 3 optional params - delimiter, quote_char, quote_escape

E.g. to parse tab separated values where fields are wrapped with quotes (") and quotes are escaped with "

var csv = require('node-csv').createParser('\t', '"', '\\');

node-csv can also convert each row to an object based on the column names in the first row, e.g.

test.csv

id,user,pass
1,foo,bar

parse.js

var csv = require('node-csv').createParser();

csv.mapFile('./test.csv', function(err, data) {

    console.log(data); //Outputs: [ { id: '1', user: 'foo', pass: 'bar' } ]
    
});
