I had to write a custom CSV parsing library from scratch for my company's use case. We needed to have native support for streaming with efficient reading from file, a bunch of toggles that affect what data is returned from the parser (e.g. parse only the first field of each row into a string and skip the rest) and the ability to skip malformed row and keep parsing. That is, a syntax error in one row shouldn't abort parsing the whole file.
