Support Canonic Quoting

Open ppKrauss opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

Overview

It is not a bug, but I not see an option to "clean" or normalize CSV files, because quatation is free. Ideal is to offer a "canonic CSV" definition, quotating only cells where value need it (typically need to scape a ",").

Suggestion

At terminal something as frictionless transform normalize or frictionless normalize. The command changes CSV only when it need. For example:

"c1","c2",c3
"test",123,"456, Hello!"

will be normalized to

c1,c2,c3
test,123,"456, Hello!"

PS: the command csvformat of CSVkit do the job, so this project can reuse or be connected with CSVkit.
