LOL, learn something every day! I've even written my own, but it isn't very good.

There's also my little experimental csv parser that was designed to be as fast as possible:

	https://github.com/quickfur/fastcsv

However it can only handle input that fits in memory (using std.mmfile is one possible workaround), has a static limit on field sizes, and does not do validation.

We use this at work with some light tweaks, it’s done a lot work 🙂

Wow, I never expected it to be actually useful. :-P  Good to know it's worth something!

I frequently find it useful for a text data file parser to call a diagnostic callback instead of assuming some default behavior (whether that's forgiving, printing warnings, throwing or something else). With template callback parameters the parser can throw if the user wants it or stay pure nothrow if no action is required.

Yeah, I wrote a csv module too back in... I think 2010, before Phobos had one.

It is about 90 lines, still works. Nothing special but I actually kinda like it.
