public class JRCsvExporter
extends JRAbstractCsvExporter<CsvReportConfiguration,CsvExporterConfiguration,JRCsvExporterContext>

Exports a JasperReports document to CSV format. It has character output type and exports the document to a grid-based layout.

Because CSV is a data-oriented file format, exporting rich content documents to CSV results in a tremendous loss of quality. The CSV exporter will completely ignore graphic elements present in the source document that needs to be exported. It will only deal will text elements, and from those, it will only extract the text value, completely ignoring the style properties.

CSV is a character-based file format whose content is structured in rows and columns, so the JRCsvExporter is a grid exporter because it must transform the free-form content of each page from the source document into a grid-like structure using the special grid layout algorithm.

By default, the CSV exporter uses commas to separate column values and newline characters to separate rows in the resulting file. However, one can redefine the delimiters using the two special exporter configuration settings in the CsvExporterConfiguration class:

• getFieldDelimiter()
• getRecordDelimiter()
which both provide java.lang.String values.
