# CSV
Encode/Decode/Roundtrip CSV and TSV files.
## Encode
Currently supports arrays of homogenous flat objects, that is: no nesting and it assumes the _first_ object has all the keys required:
```yaml
- name: Bobo
type: dog
- name: Fifi
type: cat
```
As well as arrays of arrays of scalars (strings/numbers/booleans):
```yaml
- [Bobo, dog]
- [Fifi, cat]
```
## Decode
Decode assumes the first CSV/TSV row is the header row, and all rows beneath are the entries.
The data will be coded into an array of objects, using the header rows as keys.
```csv
name,type
Bobo,dog
Fifi,cat
```

Encode to a property file (decode not yet supported). Line comments on value nodes will be copied across.

By default, empty maps and arrays are not encoded - see below for an example on how to encode a value for these.
