# CSVReadingOptions A set of CSV file-reading options. ``` struct CSVReadingOptions ``` ## Topics ### Initializers [`init(hasHeaderRow: Bool, nilEncodings: Set, trueEncodings: Set, falseEncodings: Set, floatingPointType: CSVType, ignoresEmptyLines: Bool, usesQuoting: Bool, usesEscaping: Bool, delimiter: Character, escapeCharacter: Character)`](/documentation/TabularData/CSVReadingOptions/init(hasHeaderRow:nilEncodings:trueEncodings:falseEncodings:floatingPointType:ignoresEmptyLines:usesQuoting:usesEscaping:delimiter:escapeCharacter:)) Creates a set of options for reading a CSV file. ### Instance Properties [`var dateParsers: [(String) -> Date?]`](/documentation/TabularData/CSVReadingOptions/dateParsers) An array of closures that parse a date from a string. [`var delimiter: Character`](/documentation/TabularData/CSVReadingOptions/delimiter) The character that separates data fields in a CSV file, typically a comma. [`var escapeCharacter: Character`](/documentation/TabularData/CSVReadingOptions/escapeCharacter) The character that precedes other characters, such as quotation marks, so that the parser interprets them as literal characters instead of special ones. [`var falseEncodings: Set`](/documentation/TabularData/CSVReadingOptions/falseEncodings) The set of strings that stores acceptable spellings for false Boolean values. [`var floatingPointType: CSVType`](/documentation/TabularData/CSVReadingOptions/floatingPointType) The type to use for floating-point numeric values. [`var hasHeaderRow: Bool`](/documentation/TabularData/CSVReadingOptions/hasHeaderRow) A Boolean value that indicates whether the CSV file has a header row. [`var ignoresEmptyLines: Bool`](/documentation/TabularData/CSVReadingOptions/ignoresEmptyLines) A Boolean value that indicates whether to ignore empty lines. [`var nilEncodings: Set`](/documentation/TabularData/CSVReadingOptions/nilEncodings) The set of strings that stores acceptable spellings for empty values. [`var trueEncodings: Set`](/documentation/TabularData/CSVReadingOptions/trueEncodings) The set of strings that stores acceptable spellings for true Boolean values. [`var usesEscaping: Bool`](/documentation/TabularData/CSVReadingOptions/usesEscaping) A Boolean value that indicates whether to enable escaping. [`var usesQuoting: Bool`](/documentation/TabularData/CSVReadingOptions/usesQuoting) A Boolean value that indicates whether to enable quoting. ### Instance Methods [`func addDateParseStrategy(T)`](/documentation/TabularData/CSVReadingOptions/addDateParseStrategy(_:)) Adds a date parsing strategy. --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
