CSV API for Java

I've used OpenCSV in the past.

import au.com.bytecode.opencsv.CSVReader;

String fileName = "data.csv";
CSVReader reader = new CSVReader(new FileReader(fileName ));

// if the first line is the header
String[] header = reader.readNext();

// iterate over reader.readNext until it returns null
String[] line = reader.readNext();

There were some other choices in the answers to another question.

Apache Commons CSV

Check out Apache Common CSV.

This library reads and writes several variations of CSV, including the standard one RFC 4180. Also reads/writes Tab-delimited files.

Excel
InformixUnload
InformixUnloadCsv
MySQL
Oracle
