csvtoker

Simple C++ CSV line parser

This is designed for critical path CSV parsing, such as handling high throughput rsyslog data. It does not use iostreams or boost tokenizer. Compared to a boost::tokenizer implementation, it performs half of the allocations, and is 3 times faster.

Usage

#include <csvtoker.hpp>

std::vector<std::string> result;
CsvToker::parse("some,\"data fields\",here", result);
