opencsv 1.1 – now with csv writing!
An article by Glen
This is the version that I was never going to write, but I’ve decided to add csv export to my little PasswordSafeSWT project and, since people have asked about csv writing capability, I now had a reason for opencsv 1.1.
opencsv is an ultra-lightweight minimalist cvs parsing and writing library for Java under an Apache 2.0 license. The API is extremely tiny with only two methods and a couple of constructors. It handles embedded carriage returns, custom delimiters, and the common cases for most csv files. Might save you an hour if you’re in a hurry.

Hi Glen, I tried to check out your opencvs project from sourceforge via CVS, but the directory structure doesn’t contain any useful files (*.java).
I’d like to add support for quoted quote characters.
Robert, the tar.gz download of opencsv should come with the source included – so you should already have it (check the src directory with the download). Feel free to add your changes (and send them in and I’ll add them to the next release).
Hi Glen, Its great Code but I would loved it more if we could convert CSV to XML using this. Help me out. Thanks. Keep the good work going.
good idea, but i think that, some framework had already implement this function,
Hi Glen Smith,
Please add methods to compare two csv files( May compared with particular instances! meaning long, String, BigDecimal,. . ). Waiting for your response.
