<h5>"Great, but I have a <i>file</i> to parse."</h5>
<p>Then give Papa a <ahref="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/File">File</a> instead of a string. Since file parsing is asynchronous, don't forget a callback.</p>
<p>That's what streaming is for. Specify a step callback to receive the results row-by-row. This way, you won't load the whole file into memory and crash the browser.</p>
<p>That happens when a long-running script is executing in the same thread as the page. Use a <ahref="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Worker">Worker</a> thread by specifying <code>worker: true</code>. It may take slightly longer, but your page will stay reactive.</p>
<h5>"Great! Now I want data keyed by field name."</h5>
<p>If you tell Papa there is a header row, each row will be organized by field name instead of index.</p>
<pre><codeclass="language-javascript">// Key data by field name instead of index/position
var results = Papa.parse(csv, {
header: true
});</code></pre>

<h4>Type Conversion</h4>
<h5>"Hey, these numbers are parsed as strings."</h5>
<p><i>Everything</i> is parsed as strings. If you want numbers and booleans, you can enable dynamic typing to do the conversion for you.</p>

var results = Papa.parse(csv, {
dynamicTyping: true

<h4>Comments</h4>
<h5>"I forgot to mention: my CSV files have comments in them."</h5>
<p>Okay, first off: that's really weird. But fortunately, you can skip those lines... just specify the comment string.</p>
<pre><codeclass="language-javascript">// Mostly found in academia, some CSV files
// may have commented lines in them
var results = Papa.parse(csv, {
comments: "#"
});</code></pre>

<h4>Error Handling</h4>
<h5>"Aw, shoot. Errors."</h5>
<p>Papa handles errors pretty well. The <ahref="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4180">CSV standard</a> is somewhat <strike>loose</strike> ambiguous, so Papa is designed for edge cases. For example, mismatched fields won't break parsing.</p>
<pre><codeclass="language-javascript">// Example error:
{
type: "FieldMismatch",
code: "TooManyFields",
message: "Expected 3 fields, but parsed 4",
row: 1
}</code></pre>

<h4>jQuery Plugin</h4>
<h5>"Can I use Papa with jQuery?"</h5>
<p>Sure, but it's not required. You can use jQuery to select file input elements and then parse their files. Papa exposes its file parsing API as a jQuery plugin only when jQuery is defined. Papa Parse has <b>no dependencies</b>.</p>
