public class CsvParserSettings
extends CommonParserSettings<CsvFormat>

This is the configuration class used by the CSV parser (CsvParser)

In addition to the configuration options provided by CommonParserSettings, the CSVParserSettings include:

• emptyValue (defaults to null): Defines a replacement string to signify an empty value (which is not a null value)

  When reading, if the parser does not read any character from the input, and the input is within quotes, the empty is used instead of an empty string

CsvParserSettings

public CsvParserSettings()

Method Detail

getEmptyValue

public String getEmptyValue()

Returns the String representation of an empty value (defaults to null)

When reading, if the parser does not read any character from the input, and the input is within quotes, the empty is used instead of an empty string

Returns:

the String representation of an empty value

setEmptyValue

public void setEmptyValue(String emptyValue)

Sets the String representation of an empty value (defaults to null)

When reading, if the parser does not read any character from the input, and the input is within quotes, the empty is used instead of an empty string

Parameters:

emptyValue - the String representation of an empty value

newCharAppender

protected CharAppender newCharAppender()

Returns an instance of CharAppender with the configured limit of maximum characters per column and the default value used to represent an empty value (when the String parsed from the input, within quotes, is empty)

This overrides the parent's version because the CSV parser does not rely on the appender to identify null values, but on the other hand, the appender is required to identify empty values.

Overrides:

newCharAppender in class CommonParserSettings<CsvFormat>

Returns:

an instance of CharAppender with the configured limit of maximum characters per column and the default value used to represent an empty value (when the String parsed from the input, within quotes, is empty)

createDefaultFormat

protected CsvFormat createDefaultFormat()
