JAVA parse a CSV file

Question

I just recently went through the exercise of going through various examples and tutorials dealing with parsing XML's - I have been introduced to JSoup, DOM, StAX, and maybe one other.

I now want to branch off into opening and reading a csv (comma deliminted file) and search for particular data.

A brief internet search shows similar to the XML exercise - plenty of options.

What technique do you recommend (within the JAVA world) for opening, reading, searching a csv file?

I guess I would also like to include writing a csv file also.

Thanks for the advice.
