What is cl-csv
cl-csv is:
I had many scattered, not well tested, not easily runable pieces of csv code. I was unhappy with this situation then decided to refactor all of this into a single location. I wrote tests for it and had a library so I thought I might release it. This project started as extensions and bugfixes on arnesi’s CSV.
I then looked around and saw there are other csv libs out there that probably mostly accomplished what I had set out to do. However, I already had code that was tested and had an easier license (BSD) so, I figured why not just release it anyway.
