CSV unclosed quote fix for data imports

RFC 4180 requires doubling quotes inside quoted fields. An unclosed quote makes the parser swallow the rest of the file. Excel exports and locales add edge cases.

Common causes

  • Quote not doubled inside field.
  • Line breaks inside unquoted fields.
  • Delimiter vs decimal comma confusion.

How to fix

  • Fix quoting and re-validate.
  • Use Request Body Validator for JSON exports instead when possible.
  • Compare before/after with JSON Diff for converted data.
