Parse CSV with Javascript

Papa Parse (formerly the jQuery Parse Plugin) is a robust and powerful CSV (character-separated values) parser with these features:

• Easily parses delimited text strings with any delimiter
• Parse CSV files directly (local or over the network)
• Stream large files (even via HTTP)
• Auto-detects the delimiter
• Worker threads to keep your web page responsive
• Header row support
• Can convert numbers and booleans to their types
• Graceful and robust error handling
• jQuery integration to easily parse files from <input type="file"> elements

All are optional (except for being easy to use).

Contributing

To discuss a new feature or if you have a question, open an issue. To fix a bug, submit a pull request and get credited in the contributors! Remember, a pull request, with test, is best. (Especially all changes to the Parser component should be validated with tests.) You may also discuss on Twitter with #PapaParse or directly to me, @mholt6.

Origins

Papa Parse is the result of a successful experiment by SmartyStreets which matured into a fully-featured, independent Javascript library.
