Does it handle quoted CSV fields that spans multiple lines?
Yep. You can try it out on the demo page.

#52[Error] ReferenceError: Can't find variable: performance (anonyme Funktion) (demo.js, line 155) dispatch (jquery.min.js, line 3) handle (jquery.min.js, line 3)
That should be fixed now. Thanks!

#53Yes! Thank you! We're using the d3 CSV parser for our CSV upload functionality [1] but are having a ton of issues with performance and cross-browser support. Can't wait to try this out. [1] http://geocod.io
Cool, good luck! Disclaimer: some features definitely won't work in older browsers.
I saw your service on HN a while back. It generated some excitement among us here at SmartyStreets, which also uses Papa to process customers' lists without requiring them to send us their whole file. I think these are great use cases.

#54Amazing project! Everything seems really well put together. I really like the humor and the Q&A format. Do you mind if I borrow it for v2 of a project I'm releasing soon? Also, there is not a single negative comment here. That's a HN record. Congratulations!
It's not a CSV library, right? :) Go for it. And yeah, I've been surprised! I hadn't anticipated so many comments about the web site, since the feature is a Javascript library. It's like going to a movie for the previews. Definitely grateful for the feedback, though. It's great that quirks that are being constructively reported so they can be fixed.
It's really great, usually people around here will tear into any detail of your site that they don't like or find unconventional.

#55When you convert CSV to and from JSON(/XML) then the interesting part IMHO is how to convert the hierarchy (of JSON/XML) to CSV and how to encode it (e.g. in a header-line). Do you account for that?
There are some assumptions made. Mainly, that you have an array of arrays or an array of objects to encode as CSV. For an array of arrays, that's easy: each array is a row. For an array of objects, each object is a row keyed by field name.
Data with a varied structure is much trickier, if at all possible, to flatten. I haven't figured out a magic formula for that (yet?).

#56This seems like it might integrate really well with crossfilter[0] which is a really neat multi-dimensional filtering tool but can completely lock up the browser as the data is loaded.

#57In Demo it says to get see the data in browsers console.. thats cool .. but how do we Download the data , like the results should directly prompt a Save dialog window..

Hmm... I'll consider that for a later upgrade to the demo. For most people, it seems that seeing the results in the console is enough to know if it does what they need.

yeah we can wait for later stages for the implementation in demo but in the meantime any documentation or pointers on how to achieve the direct download of results..
