Frequently Asked Questions

How does the tool handle different CSV delimiters?
Supports comma, semicolon, tab, pipe, and custom delimiters. The tool can also auto-detect the most likely delimiter from your data.
Can it automatically detect and convert data types?
Yes, the tool can parse numbers, booleans, dates, and null values automatically. You can control which types to parse in the options.
What output formats are available?
Three formats: Records (array of objects), Array (2D array), and Object (columns as arrays). Records format is most commonly used.
How does it handle CSV files without headers?
When headers are disabled, the tool generates column names (column_1, column_2, etc.) or you can provide custom header names.
Can it handle large CSV files?
The tool processes files client-side and can handle reasonably large files. For very large datasets, consider using the row limit option to process in chunks.
