Unicode aware CSV parser in Java

Question

I'm looking for Java implementation of CSV (comma separated values) parser with proper handling of Unicode data, e.g. UTF-8 CSV files with Chinese text. I suppose such a parser should internally use code point related methods while iterating, comparing etc. Apache 2 license or similar would work the best.

Answer 1

I don't believe in reinventing the wheel. So I do not want to write my own parser and go through the same headaches someone else did.

I personally like the CSV Parser from Ostermiller. They also have a Maven Repository if interested.
