Changes

All functions and errors in this module are assigned to the <code><nowiki>http://basex.org/modules/csv</nowiki></code> namespace, which is statically bound to the {{Code|csv}} prefix.<br/>All errors are assigned to the <code><nowiki>http://basex.org/errors</nowiki></code> namespace, which is statically bound to the {{Code|bxerr}} prefix.

If the {{Code|direct}} or {{Code|attributes}} format is chosen, a CSV string is converted to XML as follows:

With the {{MarkCode|Introduced with Version 9.0xquery}}: format, CSV records can be are converted to a sequence of arrays:

The CSV map can e.g. be accessed as follows: * <code>$csv?records[5]</code> returns all entries of the 5th record (row)* <code>$csv?records(2)</code> returns all entries of the 2nd field (column)* <code>$csv?names?*</code> returns the names of all fields (if available)* Return enumerated strings for all records:<pre class="brush:xquery">for $record at $pos in $csv?recordsreturn $pos || ". " || string-join($record?*, ', ')</pre> The resulting representation will consume consumes less memory than XML-based formats, and values can be directly accessed without conversion. Thus, it is recommendable for very large inputs and for efficient ad-hoc processing.

|Converts the CSV data specified by {{Code|$inputstring}} to an XML document or a mapXQuery value. The {{Code|$options}} argument can be used to control the way the input is converted.

|Serializes the node specified by {{Code|$input}} as CSV data, and returns using the result as specified {{Code|xs:string$options}}, and returns the result as string.
