csvkit is a suite of utilities for converting to and working with CSV,
|
||
|
|
the king of tabular file formats.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
csvkit is to tabular data what the standard Unix text processing suite
|
||
|
|
(grep, sed, cut, sort) is to text. As such, csvkit adheres to the Unix
|
||
|
|
philosophy.
|
||
|

|
||
|
|

||
|
