Parse csv and Excel xlsx files

features

• parse csv and Excel xlsx files
• no dependencies, fast and low memory footprint
• very small code base: 1100 lines of code
• auto detect file encoding and line endings
• auto detect csv separator, enclosure and header presence
• unicode support

install and demo

composer require 8ctopus/nano-csv

• Simple csv parsing

use Oct8pus\CSV\CSV;

require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

$csv = new CSV(__DIR__ .'/samples/ascii-mac-header.csv');

echo $csv
    ->autoDetect() . PHP_EOL;

while ($row = $csv->readNextRow()) {
    echo implode(', ', $row) . PHP_EOL;
}

Dec, 0.0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1

• And some handy options

$csv = new CSV(__DIR__ .'/samples/ascii-mac-header.csv');

$csv
    ->autoDetect()
    // convert string to number
    ->setConvertNumbers(true)
    // return associative array
    ->setAssociativeArray(true);

$average = 0;

while ($row = $csv->readNextRow()) {
    $average += $row['Average'];
}

echo "Average from May to Dec: {$average}" . PHP_EOL;

Average from May to Dec: 9.6

• Excel xlsx parsing

use Oct8pus\CSV\XLSX;

$xls = new XLSX(__DIR__ .'/samples/test.xlsx');

echo $xls
    ->autoDetect() . PHP_EOL;

while ($row = $xls->readNextRow()) {
    echo implode(', ', $row) . PHP_EOL;
}

file: K:\dev\github\nano-csv/samples\test.csv
size: 174
BOM: UTF-8
encoding: UTF-8
line ending: Linux
lines count: 9
separator: ,
enclosure: none
header: true
rows count: 7
columns (5): name, class, weight, empty, height

cat, mammal, 8, , 0.2
rabbit, mammal, 0.6, , 0.2
dog, mammal, 20, , 0.7
puma, mammal, 30, , 0.6
pinguin, bird, 10, , 0.4
bear, mammal, 300, , 1
bat, mammal, 0.1, , 0.1

Also look at the demo-* files.

tests

composer test

clean code

composer fix
composer fix-risky

todo

• use readonly properties
• detect escape char
• refactor read
• make a really tricky test file - detect escape character within enclosures
• compare performance against most popular csv parsers
