/*!
The `csv` crate provides a fast and flexible CSV reader and writer, with
support for Serde.

The [tutorial](tutorial/index.html) is a good place to start if you're new to
Rust.

The [cookbook](cookbook/index.html) will give you a variety of complete Rust
programs that do CSV reading and writing.

# Brief overview

**If you're new to Rust**, you might find the
[tutorial](tutorial/index.html)
to be a good place to start.

The primary types in this crate are
[`Reader`](struct.Reader.html)
and
[`Writer`](struct.Writer.html),
for reading and writing CSV data respectively.
Correspondingly, to support CSV data with custom field or record delimiters
(among many other things), you should use either a
[`ReaderBuilder`](struct.ReaderBuilder.html)
or a
[`WriterBuilder`](struct.WriterBuilder.html),
depending on whether you're reading or writing CSV data.

Unless you're using Serde, the standard CSV record types are
[`StringRecord`](struct.StringRecord.html)
and
[`ByteRecord`](struct.ByteRecord.html).
`StringRecord` should be used when you know your data to be valid UTF-8.
For data that may be invalid UTF-8, `ByteRecord` is suitable.

Finally, the set of errors is described by the
[`Error`](enum.Error.html)
type.

The rest of the types in this crate mostly correspond to more detailed errors,
position information, configuration knobs or iterator types.

# Setup

Add this to your `Cargo.toml`:

```toml
[dependencies]
csv = "1.0.0-beta.3"
```

and this to your crate root:

```rust
extern crate csv;
```

If you want to use Serde's custom derive functionality on your custom structs,
then add this to your `[dependencies]` section of `Cargo.toml`:

```toml
[dependencies]
serde = "1"
serde_derive = "1"
```

and this to your crate root:

```ignore
extern crate serde;
#[macro_use]
extern crate serde_derive;
```

# Example

This example shows how to read CSV data from stdin and print each record to
stdout.

There are more examples in the [cookbook](cookbook/index.html).

```no_run
extern crate csv;

use std::error::Error;
use std::io;
use std::process;

fn example() -> Result<(), Box<Error>> {
    // Build the CSV reader and iterate over each record.
    let mut rdr = csv::Reader::from_reader(io::stdin());
    for result in rdr.records() {
        // The iterator yields Result<StringRecord, Error>, so we check the
        // error here.
        let record = result?;
        println!("{:?}", record);
    }
    Ok(())
}

fn main() {
    if let Err(err) = example() {
        println!("error running example: {}", err);
        process::exit(1);
    }
}
```

The above example can be run like so:

```ignore
$ git clone git:https://github.com/BurntSushi/rust-csv
$ cd rust-csv
$ cargo run --example cookbook-read-basic < examples/data/smallpop.csv
```

# Example with Serde

This example shows how to read CSV data from stdin into your own custom struct.
By default, the member names of the struct are matched with the values in the
header record of your CSV data.

```no_run
extern crate csv;
#[macro_use]
extern crate serde_derive;

use std::error::Error;
use std::io;
use std::process;

#[derive(Debug,Deserialize)]
struct Record {
    city: String,
    region: String,
    country: String,
    population: Option<u64>,
}

fn example() -> Result<(), Box<Error>> {
    let mut rdr = csv::Reader::from_reader(io::stdin());
    for result in rdr.deserialize() {
        // Notice that we need to provide a type hint for automatic
        // deserialization.
        let record: Record = result?;
        println!("{:?}", record);
    }
    Ok(())
}

fn main() {
    if let Err(err) = example() {
        println!("error running example: {}", err);
        process::exit(1);
    }
}
```

The above example can be run like so:

```ignore
$ git clone git:https://github.com/BurntSushi/rust-csv
$ cd rust-csv
$ cargo run --example cookbook-read-serde < examples/data/smallpop.csv
```

/// A custom Serde deserializer for possibly invalid `Option<T>` fields.

/// When deserializing CSV data, it is sometimes desirable to simply ignore

/// usually a number, but will occasionally contain garbage data that causes
/// number parsing to fail.
///
/// You might be inclined to use, say, `Option<i32>` for fields such at this.
/// By default, however, `Option<i32>` will either capture *empty* fields with
/// `None` or valid numeric fields with `Some(the_number)`. If the field is
/// non-empty and not a valid number, then deserialization will return an error
/// instead of using `None`.
///
/// This function allows you to override this default behavior. Namely, if
/// `Option<T>` is deserialized with non-empty but invalid data, then the value
/// will be `None` and the error will be ignored.
///
/// # Example
///
/// This example shows how to parse CSV records with numerical data, even if
/// some numerical data is absent or invalid. Without the
/// `serde(deserialize_with = "...")` annotations, this example would return
/// an error.
