             Summary: Bindy - Add option to automatically quote field if it contains chosen separator during marshalling
                 Key: CAMEL-19143
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-19143
             Project: Camel
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: camel-bindy
    Affects Versions: 3.20.1
            Reporter: Brice Frisco
         Attachments: image-2023-03-13-15-14-28-952.png

Given a POJO such as:

 
{code:java}
@CsvRecord(generateHeaderColumns = true, separator = ",")
public class SomeOutput {
    @DataField(columnName = "hello", pos = 1)
    private String hello = "Hello,";
    @DataField(columnName = "world", pos = 2)
    private String world = "World!";

    // getters and setters
}{code}
 

And a route such as:

 
{code:java}
from("timer://test?repeatCount=1")
    .setBody(constant(new SampleOutput()))
    .marshal(CSV_FORMAT)
    .log("${body}"); {code}
 

Bindy produces this output:
{code:java}
hello,world
Hello,,World! {code}
Which looks like the following in CSV format:

Fields which contain the chosen separator are not automatically escaped or quoted. One workaround to this is to add `quoting=true` to the `CsvRecord`, which will quote all fields.

I think it would be nice if an option existed that would quote fields only when it is necessary, which can reduce the file size. This method of dynamic quoting is the way it is handled by default in Excel on Windows systems.
