+Robust, efficient CSV parsing (with nearly any delimiting character)
+
+
+Basic usage
+-----------
+
+```javascript
+results = $.parse(csvString, {
+	delimiter: "\t",
+	header: true
+});
+```
+
+The default delimiter is `,` but can be set to anything anything except `"` or `\n`.
+
+By default, a header row is expected. The output and error handling depends on whether you include a header row with your data.
