csv-iterator

A ligthweight async csv-iterator for Node.js.

Example that creates an iterator from a file to iterate over rows 10 to 20:

var csvIterator = require('csv-iterator')
 
var iterator = csvIterator.fromFile('input.csv', {from: 10, to: 20})

The resulting iterator can be used with the async-iterators module to apply transformations or write to a target.
