Subject: Struggling with parsing data efficiently—any tips or tools you recommend?
Hey everyone,
I've been working on parsing data from a bunch of different file formats (CSV, JSON, even some weird legacy stuff), and it's been a headache. Some files are clean, others... not so much.
What tools or libraries do you guys use to make parsing data less painful? I’ve tried a few, but always end up with edge cases that break things.
Also, how do you handle messy or inconsistent input? Like missing fields or random extra commas? Feels like half my time is just cleaning up garbage data lol.
Any advice or favorite tricks? Even small tips would help!
Thanks in advance!
