Hey folks! I know CSV parsers (especially in JS) aren't terribly exciting and someone writes a "better" one every week. I'm in the middle of my parental leave, and this was a project that came out of me looking for the fastest/smallest CSV parser. It all started so innocently, and then turned into a benchmark-validation-athon; the library itself took ~2 weeks to write, but the performance comparisons took another ~4 weeks (on and off). The benchmarks were a huge effort, but I think they are the most thorough to date, both in breadth and in depth, so hopefully you find them useful:…

Hey HN, A CSV parser using Go 1.26's experimental simd/archsimd package. I wanted to see what the new SIMD API looks like in practice. CSV parsing is mostly "find these bytes in a buffer"—load 64 bytes, compare, get a bitmask of positions. The interesting part was handling chunk boundaries correctly (quotes and line endings can split across chunks). - Drop-in replacement for encoding/csv - ~20% faster for unquoted data on AVX-512 - Quoted data is slower (still optimizing) - Scalar fallback for non-AVX-512 Requires GOEXPERIMENT=simd.…

At my previous startup, CSV import was make-or-break for customer onboarding. We built the first version in three days. Then reality hit: Windows-1252 encoding, European date formats, embedded newlines, phone numbers in five different formats. We rebuilt that importer multiples over the next six months. Our onboarding completion rate dropped 40% at the import step because users couldn't fix errors without starting over. The real problem isn't parsing (PapaParse is excellent). It's everything after: mapping "Customer Email" to your "email" field, validating business rules, and letting users…
