All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Comparable<DataExportConfiguration.QuotingStrategy>

Enclosing class:

DataExportConfiguration

public static enum DataExportConfiguration.QuotingStrategy
extends java.lang.Enum<DataExportConfiguration.QuotingStrategy>

Enumerates the quoting strategies for text-based output file formats such as CSV.

When a data value to be written itself contains the column or line separator, writing the value "as is" will corrupt the overall table structure of the file. A common solution is to put such values in quotes. Column or line separators within quotes can then be interpreted as data.
