[jira] [Commented] (CSV-163) add a basic mapping feature

["Gary Gregory (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CSV-163?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15018482#comment-15018482 ] 

Gary Gregory commented on CSV-163:
----------------------------------

I do not understand the example, it looks like a mix of two examples, one for mapped access, one for indexed access.

Regardless, I think this is out of scope. [CSV] is just about parsing and emitting. Mapping objects enters the territory that is well worn by other frameworks like JPA, granted JPA is heavy in comparison, but I do not to invest yet another mapping DSL...

> would be neat to be able to map records instead of using string based access:
> {code}
> public class MyRecored {
>     @Csv(position = 1) String name;
>     @Csv(name = "city") String city;
> // ...
> }
> {code}
> Think it is acceptable to support only basic types (primitives + String/Date to start). This constraint would keep the code light and simple - no converter - but easier to use than "map"-like API .
