A better CSV library for Go

Cartogopher

A super simple library to read CSVs as maps instead of arrays in golang

Usage

Cartogopher can be used as an augmentor of Go's built in CSV reader.

The 'Hello World' for cartogopher looks something like this:

package main

import (
    "encoding/csv"
    "github.com/literallyelvis/cartogopher"
    "os"
)

func main(){
    file, err := os.Open("whatever.csv")
    if err != nil{
        // handle error as you please
    }

    reader, err := csv.NewReader(file)
    if err != nil{
        // handle error as you please
    }

    myCSV, err := cartogopher.NewReader(reader)
    if err != nil{
        // handle error as you please
    }

    theRestOfTheFile, err := myCSV.Reader.ReadAll()
    if err != nil{
        // handle error as you please
    }
    // do things with theRestOfTheFile
}
