One csv parser to rule them all

One would think that parsing CSV files is pretty straightforward until you get bitten by all kinds of CSV files exists in the wild. Many years ago, I have written a small CSV reader with following requirements in mind:

• Should not depend on any other code other than Clojure
• Should allow me to control how I tokenize and transform lines
• Should allow me to have complete controll over delimiting charactor or charactors, file encoding, amount of lines to read and error handling

The result is csvx. I update it to work across Clojure and ClojureScript both in NodeJS and browser environment. The entire code is less than 200 lines including comments and blank lines. If you find yourself in need of a csv reader with above requirements, you are welcome to steal the code. Enjoy!
