About Edit csv

Edit csv is a free, open source extension for Visual Studio Code. It opens a CSV file in an editable table with an Excel-like interface, displayed beside the source file. Changes made in the table are written back to the source file when you click Apply, and Apply and save also saves the file. Undo is available in the table or in the source file after applying.

The data flow is one way, from the editor to the source file. If the CSV file changes while the editor is open, the editor is not updated. Empty lines are skipped on load, and comment rows export only their first cell. The README notes that the approach does not scale well to large CSV files, because the content is stored for the whole session. An online version is available at edit-csv.net for use without Visual Studio Code.

Edit csv FAQ

Does the editor update if the CSV file changes while it is open?
No. The data flow is one way, from the editor to the source file, so changes made to the source file while the editor is open are not reflected in the editor.
Are empty lines kept when the file is saved?
No. Empty lines are skipped when the file is loaded.
Does it work well with large CSV files?
The README states that the approach does not scale very well with large CSV files, because the content must be stringified and stored for the whole time the editor is open.
Is something wrong or out of date?
