CSVDecoder

public struct CSVDecoder

Simple in-memory CSV data representation decoder.

Compared to other formats, CSV representation is very limited. It doesn’t support decoding of nested values or direct decoding of primitive values. Unless the type to be decoded has a dedicated init(from: Decoder) method, it is only possible to decode an array of the type.

Here’s an example that decodes an array of simple structures:

struct Person: Decodable {
  var id: Int
  var name: String
}

let csv = """
id,name
1,"Thomas"
"2",Gina
""".data(encoding: .utf8)

let decoder = CSVDecoder()
let people = try? decoder.decode([Person].self, from: csv, encoding: .utf8)
