Interface QuoteMode

  • All Known Implementing Classes:
    AlwaysQuoteMode, ColumnQuoteMode, NormalQuoteMode

    public interface QuoteMode
    The interface for quoting modes. The quote mode allows quoting to be enabled in cases where quotes would not normally be required (because the column doesn't contain any special characters). It is not a way to disable quoting altogether - to do that you must supply your own CsvEncoder.
