This project compares the speed of different Node.JS csv parsers.

$ git clone https://github.com/Keyang/csvbench
$ npm install .
$ node ./index.js

All parsers will simply do following

1. stream in 1.csv and start to parse
2. get content from 1st column of each row and write to a file

1.csv contains 300K lines

Here is some result running on a 2019 Macbook Pro:

$ node ./index.js
csv: 1844.045ms
fast-csv: 1681.046ms
csv-parser: 722.762ms
csvtojson: 436.225ms
papaparse: 434.335ms
