1/*!
2The `csv` crate provides a fast and flexible CSV reader and writer, with
3support for Serde.
4
5The [tutorial](tutorial/index.html) is a good place to start if you're new to
6Rust.
7
8The [cookbook](cookbook/index.html) will give you a variety of complete Rust
9programs that do CSV reading and writing.
10
11# Brief overview
12
13**If you're new to Rust**, you might find the
14[tutorial](tutorial/index.html)
15to be a good place to start.
16
17The primary types in this crate are
18[`Reader`](struct.Reader.html)
19and
20[`Writer`](struct.Writer.html),
21for reading and writing CSV data respectively.
22Correspondingly, to support CSV data with custom field or record delimiters
23(among many other things), you should use either a
24[`ReaderBuilder`](struct.ReaderBuilder.html)
25or a
26[`WriterBuilder`](struct.WriterBuilder.html),
27depending on whether you're reading or writing CSV data.
28
29Unless you're using Serde, the standard CSV record types are
30[`StringRecord`](struct.StringRecord.html)
31and
32[`ByteRecord`](struct.ByteRecord.html).
33`StringRecord` should be used when you know your data to be valid UTF-8.
34For data that may be invalid UTF-8, `ByteRecord` is suitable.
35
36Finally, the set of errors is described by the
37[`Error`](struct.Error.html)
38type.
39
40The rest of the types in this crate mostly correspond to more detailed errors,
41position information, configuration knobs or iterator types.
42
43# Setup
44
45Run `cargo add csv` to add the latest version of the `csv` crate to your
46Cargo.toml.
47
48If you want to use Serde's custom derive functionality on your custom structs,
49then run `cargo add serde --features derive` to add the `serde` crate with its
50`derive` feature enabled to your `Cargo.toml`.
51
52# Example
53
54This example shows how to read CSV data from stdin and print each record to
55stdout.
56
57There are more examples in the [cookbook](cookbook/index.html).
58
59```no_run
60use std::{error::Error, io, process};
61
62fn example() -> Result<(), Box<dyn Error>> {
63 // Build the CSV reader and iterate over each record.
64 let mut rdr = csv::Reader::from_reader(io::stdin());
65 for result in rdr.records() {
66 // The iterator yields Result<StringRecord, Error>, so we check the
67 // error here.
68 let record = result?;
69 println!("{:?}", record);
70 }
71 Ok(())
72}
73
74fn main() {
75 if let Err(err) = example() {
76 println!("error running example: {}", err);
77 process::exit(1);
78 }
79}
80```
81
82The above example can be run like so:
83
84```ignore
85$ git clone git://github.com/BurntSushi/rust-csv
86$ cd rust-csv
87$ cargo run --example cookbook-read-basic < examples/data/smallpop.csv
88```
89
90# Example with Serde
91
92This example shows how to read CSV data from stdin into your own custom struct.
93By default, the member names of the struct are matched with the values in the
94header record of your CSV data.
95
96```no_run
97use std::{error::Error, io, process};
98
99#[derive(Debug, serde::Deserialize)]
100struct Record {
101 city: String,
102 region: String,
103 country: String,
104 population: Option<u64>,
105}
106
107fn example() -> Result<(), Box<dyn Error>> {
108 let mut rdr = csv::Reader::from_reader(io::stdin());
109 for result in rdr.deserialize() {
110 // Notice that we need to provide a type hint for automatic
111 // deserialization.
112 let record: Record = result?;
113 println!("{:?}", record);
114 }
115 Ok(())
116}
117
118fn main() {
119 if let Err(err) = example() {
120 println!("error running example: {}", err);
121 process::exit(1);
122 }
123}
124```
125
126The above example can be run like so:
127
128```ignore
129$ git clone git://github.com/BurntSushi/rust-csv
130$ cd rust-csv
131$ cargo run --example cookbook-read-serde < examples/data/smallpop.csv
132```

286/// A custom Serde deserializer for possibly invalid `Option<T>` fields.
287///
288/// When deserializing CSV data, it is sometimes desirable to simply ignore
289/// fields with invalid data. For example, there might be a field that is
290/// usually a number, but will occasionally contain garbage data that causes
291/// number parsing to fail.
292///
293/// You might be inclined to use, say, `Option<i32>` for fields such at this.
294/// By default, however, `Option<i32>` will either capture *empty* fields with
295/// `None` or valid numeric fields with `Some(the_number)`. If the field is
296/// non-empty and not a valid number, then deserialization will return an error
297/// instead of using `None`.
298///
299/// This function allows you to override this default behavior. Namely, if
300/// `Option<T>` is deserialized with non-empty but invalid data, then the value
301/// will be `None` and the error will be ignored.
302///
303/// # Example
304///
305/// This example shows how to parse CSV records with numerical data, even if
306/// some numerical data is absent or invalid. Without the
307/// `serde(deserialize_with = "...")` annotations, this example would return
308/// an error.
309///
310/// ```
311/// use std::error::Error;
312///
313/// #[derive(Debug, serde::Deserialize, Eq, PartialEq)]
314/// struct Row {
315/// #[serde(deserialize_with = "csv::invalid_option")]
316/// a: Option<i32>,
317/// #[serde(deserialize_with = "csv::invalid_option")]
318/// b: Option<i32>,
319/// #[serde(deserialize_with = "csv::invalid_option")]
320/// c: Option<i32>,
321/// }
