How to configure Super CSV to quote all values except column names?

Question

Requirements are:

• Every value in records should be quoted.
• Column names should separated by comma and space(, ).

For example

Name, Age, Location
"A","154","California"
"B","2","New York"

How do I create such SuperCSV Preference for writing?

Answer 1

Use following Custom Quote Mode:

public class AllExceptHeaderQuoteMode implements QuoteMode {

    @Override
    public boolean quotesRequired(String csvColumn, CsvContext context, CsvPreference preference) {
        if (1 == context.getLineNumber()) {
            /*
             * Case whene column names are written
             */
            return false;
        } else {
            return true;
        }
    }
}

Using Custom Quote Mode:

CsvPreference preference = new CsvPreference.Builder(CsvPreference.STANDARD_PREFERENCE).useQuoteMode(new AllExceptHeaderQuoteMode()).build());
