Go CSV

The GoCSV package aims to provide easy serialization and deserialization functions to use CSV in Golang

API and techniques inspired from https://godoc.org/gopkg.in/mgo.v2 Installation

go get -u github.com/gocarina/gocsv

Full example

Consider the following CSV file

client_id,client_name,client_age
1,Jose,42
2,Daniel,26
3,Vincent,32

Easy binding in Go!

Nested structs

When decoding nested pointer structs, GoCSV allocates the pointers needed to reach each field. An omitempty field still omits an empty leaf pointer value; it does not prevent allocation of the enclosing structs.

By default, the fields of nested structs are prefixed with the parent field's name. For example:

type Foo struct {
	B Bar
	X int `csv:"x"`
}

type Bar struct {
	A int `csv:"a"`
	B int `csv:"b"`
}

produces columns B.a, B.b, x.

Use the csv:"." tag to inline the nested struct's fields without that prefix; for example:

type Foo struct {
	B Bar `csv:"."`
	X int `csv:"x"`
}

type Bar struct {
	A int `csv:"a"`
	B int `csv:"b"`
}

produces columns a, b, x.
