csvsimple(-l3) provides a simple LaTeX interface for processing files with comma-separated values (CSV). csvsimple(-l3) makes extensive use of key–value syntax, resulting in a straightforward interface. Filtering and table generation are particularly supported. As the package is intended to be lightweight, it does not provide support for data sorting or database storage.
