I remember learning about CSV parsing and how it's conceptually simple, yet beyond the simple , and quotes: the corner cases bloat your parser 10-15x.

Or, you could be a government agency that implemented a method for citizens to upload compliance data - so they have to upload broken CSVs into a broken queue system. Get the worst of both worlds, and deployed as a green-field project in 2021.

It’s pretty simple to make one that’s RFC compliant. The rules aren’t much more than what you said.

Are you talking about trying to interpret malformed data?
