csvhuman - New Alternative (CSV) HXL Library / Gem in Ruby

[geraldb]

Hello, first thanks for trying to build a ruby version for supporting HXL. I'm the author of the (new) csvreader library / gem and I added a new library / gem, that is, csvhuman, see https://github.com/csvreader/csvhuman, that lets you read tabular data in the CSV Humanitarian eXchange Language (HXL) format in ruby. Example:

pp CsvHuman.parse( <<TXT )      ## or use HXL.parse
  What,,,Who,Where,For whom,
  Record,Sector/Cluster,Subsector,Organisation,Country,Males,Females,Subregion
  ,#sector+en,#subsector,#org,#country,#sex+#targeted,#sex+#targeted,#adm1
  001,WASH,Subsector 1,Org 1,Country 1,100,100,Region 1
  002,Health,Subsector 2,Org 2,Country 2,,,Region 2
  003,Education,Subsector 3,Org 3,Country 2,250,300,Region 3
  004,WASH,Subsector 4,Org 1,Country 3,80,95,Region 4
TXT

More ways to use the reader:

csv = CsvHuman.new( recs )
csv.each do |rec|
  pp rec
end

pp csv.read


CsvHuman.parse( recs ).each do |rec|
  pp rec
end


pp CsvHuman.read( "./test.csv" )

CsvHuman.foreach( "./test.csv" ) do |rec|
  pp rec
end

#...

or use the HXL alias:

hxl = HXL.new( recs )
hxl.each do |rec|
  pp rec
end

pp hxl.read


HXL.parse( recs ).each do |rec|
  pp rec
end


pp HXL.read( "./test.csv" )

HXL.foreach( "./test.csv" ) do |rec|
  pp rec
end

#...

Cheers. Prost.
