Register XSV

This looks interesting. Would you consider an MIT license? I'm not clear on what other packages depending on XSV.jl would need to do to comply with the current copyright.

@milktrader this is 3-clause BSD, about the same as MIT in terms of permissiveness (I think)

[IainNZ]

Looking forward to a tagged version @benhamner , streaming CSV reading has been a requested feature in Base in the past

It's kind of amazing that you just published this, Ben: I'm about five days away from releasing my own general purpose CSV parsing library. Will be fun to compare.

[milktrader]

Ok, thanks @IainNZ. So there are no special notices that need to be used to include this in a Julia package I presume?

This package may solve an outstanding issue in Quandl.jl (milktrader/Quandl.jl#1)

[benhamner]

@johnmyleswhite cool! I just wrote this as a short Sunday afternoon project, after going down a rabbit hole of CSV parsing issues in Python and being frustrated by not having a good Julia option

Curious to see what your implementation entails - this is incredibly bareboned

[johnmyleswhite]

Mine is much, much heavier: it's more like a CSV reader toolkit that allows you to implement an interface, which in turn will let you read data from CSV files into an arbitrary data structure. It's not really meant to be end-user facing, so the two libraries complement each other pretty well.

I believe that 3-clause BSD is more restrictive than MIT; 2-clause BSD is closer to MIT.

[benhamner]

I'll switch it to the MIT license on the next published version

[milktrader]

Cool, thanks @benhamner
