Working with Two Different CSV File Formats
Explore how to build a Go command-line utility that reads and sorts data from two distinct CSV formats. Learn to use reflection and interfaces to handle varying data structures dynamically, enabling flexible and maintainable code for multiple CSV formats.
We'll cover the following...
In this lesson, we are going to implement a separate command-line utility that works with two different CSV formats. The reason we are doing this is that there are times when we will need our utilities to be able to work with multiple data formats.
Remember that the records of each CSV format are stored using their own Go structure under a different variable name. As a result, we need to implement sort.Interface for both CSV formats and, therefore, for both slice variables.
The two supported file formats
The two supported formats are the following:
