This project provides CSV generation, parsing, transformation and serialization
for Node.js.
It has been tested and used by a large community over the years and should be
considered reliable. It provides every option you would expect from an advanced
CSV parser and stringifier.
[](https://nodei.co/npm/csv/) [](https://nodei.co/npm/csv/)
The `csv` package is itself split into 4 packages:
* [`csv-generate`](https://csv.js.org/generate/),
a flexible generator of CSV string and Javascript objects.
[][travis-csv-generate]
* [`csv-parse`](https://csv.js.org/parse/),
a parser converting CSV text into arrays or objects.
[][travis-csv-parse]
* [`stream-transform`](https://csv.js.org/transform/),
a transformation framework.
[][travis-stream-transform]
* [`csv-stringify`](https://csv.js.org/stringify/),
a stringifier converting records into a CSV text.
[][travis-csv-stringify]
## Documentation
The full documentation for the current version is available [here](https://csv.js.org).
## Usage
Installation command is `npm install csv`.
Each package is fully compatible with the stream 2 and 3 specifications.
Also, a simple callback-based API is always provided for convenience.
## Development
This parent project doesn't have tests itself but instead delegates the
tests to its child projects.
Read the documentation of the child projects for additional information.
