[](https://github.com/svenvc/NeoCSV/actions/workflows/CI.yml) MIT Licensed. A chapter in the [Enterprise Pharo](https://books.pharo.org/enterprise-pharo/) book is a good introduction to [NeoCSV](https://ci.inria.fr/pharo-contribution/job/EnterprisePharoBook/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/book-result/NeoCSV/NeoCSV.html). Go ahead and read the [NeoCSV paper](https://github.com/svenvc/docs/blob/master/neo/neo-csv-paper.md). Basically, NeoCSV deals with a format that - is text based (ASCII, Latin1, Unicode) - consists of records, 1 per line (any line ending convention) - where records consist of fields separated by a delimiter (comma, tab, semicolon) - where every record has the same number of fields - where fields can be quoted should they contain separators or line endings https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comma-separated_values ## Installation You can load NeoCSV using Metacello ```Smalltalk Metacello new repository: 'github://svenvc/NeoCSV/repository'; baseline: 'NeoCSV'; load. ``` You can use the following dependency from your own Metacello configuration or baseline ```Smalltalk spec baseline: 'NeoCSV' with: [ spec repository: 'github://svenvc/NeoCSV/repository' ]. ```
