I want to read csv files without upload that particular file. I will give the file url and need to read from there.

  • Hi Ashis, the question is fairly incomplete: JavaScript cannot access local file system. Is the Csv file available over the network? What do you mean by "without upload'? You mean uploading the file to a server via a `file` html input? If the file is local to the user's browser, I'm afraid you have no choice. Edit: there is the `FileReader` object, as in the answer linked by @Priyank Panchal – Alberto Chiesa Sep 04 '19 at 07:44
  • @A.Chiesa JavaScript cannot access local file system? Tell that to Nodejs File System! – callback Sep 04 '19 at 07:48
  • need to upload without using html input from local – Ashis Mondal Sep 04 '19 at 07:51
  • @callback. Yes, now try to run NodeJS from the browser. ;) Fair enough, from the question it wasn't particularly evident that the context was of a web page, but talking about upload I assumed the Web was the context and a browser the environment. – Alberto Chiesa Sep 04 '19 at 08:23

CSV stands for comma-separated values, and that’s exactly what it is. A plain text file that can be opened by any text editor.

However, a CSV file is a container for database information with one entry per line, and fields separated by commas (or other separators). That’s why it’s useful as a simple data exchange format that can be imported, manipulated and exported by a number of applications, notably spreadsheet processors, XML forms, etc.

    Linking a random answer from Quora (https://www.quora.com/How-do-I-open-a-CSV-file-without-Excel) is not a useful answer in any way. – Alberto Chiesa Sep 04 '19 at 10:20
