Papa Parse (formerly the jQuery Parse Plugin) is a robust and powerful CSV (character-separated values) parser with these features:
- Easy to use
- Parse CSV files directly (local or over the network)
- Stream large files (even via HTTP)
- Reverse parsing (converts JSON to CSV)
- Auto-detects the delimiter
- Worker threads to keep your web page responsive
- Header row support
- Can convert numbers and booleans to their types
- Graceful and robust error handling
- Minor jQuery integration to get files from
<input type="file">elements
All are optional (except for being easy to use).

To discuss a new feature or ask a question, open an issue. To fix a bug, submit a pull request to be credited with the contributors! Remember, a pull request, with test, is best. (Especially all changes to the Parser component should be validated with tests.) You may also discuss on Twitter with #PapaParse or directly to me, @mholt6.
Papa Parse is the result of a successful experiment by SmartyStreets which matured into a fully-featured, independent Javascript library.
