Interface QuoteStrategy

All Known Implementing Classes:

QuoteStrategies

public interface QuoteStrategy

A quote strategy is used to decide whether to quote fields if quoting is optional (as per RFC 4180).

If a field contains characters for which the RFC dictates quoting, this QuoteStrategy won't be called for a decision.

quoteValue

default boolean quoteValue(int lineNo,
 int fieldIdx,
 String value)

Determine if a data containing field (neither null nor empty) should be quoted.

Parameters:

lineNo - the line number (1-based)
