Read and Write CSV Files in Rust

Tips and Traps

  1. By defaut, csv::Reader requires headers.

  2. When the csv crate is used together with the serde crate for deserialization, CSV files to be parsed have to be strictly well formatted. For example, the headers in CSV files have to match the defintion in the serde struct. Otherwise, the code will panic with an error of "missing fields".
