editCSVonline is a free & lightweight Vanilla Javascript web app for editing CSV files online in a spreadsheet-like matter.
It uses two Javascript libraries: the first is PapaParse for parsing CSV files, the second is DataGridXL, the fast and reliable Excel-like data grid. (I am the author of DataGridXL: I was very happy to see the lib reach the front page on Hacker News some three months ago.)
I have created editCSVonline for a number of reasons:
- It's nice for anyone to not have to resort to Google Sheets or Microsoft Excel to edit a simple CSV file.
- I use simple tools like this (tools that aid developers) all the time: tools like JSON linters, favicon generators or SVG icon finders. This is my free help-a-fellow-dev web app.
- It promotes my product DataGridXL.
In many cases I have found that editing CSV files using editCSVonline/DataGridXL gives better performance than Google Sheets, which I am quite proud of. Take a look at the DataGridXL performance demo (https://www.datagridxl.com/demos/one-million-cells) to see the difference with other data grids out there.
Please let me know if you have any suggestions or comments!
