Best practices: Parsing csv files for input data

[afuetterer]

Hi there, I have another question after playing around with the examples.

I saw in the tutorial, that it is possible to read input data from a file:
https://ibm.github.io/prompt-declaration-language/tutorial/#input-from-file-or-stdin

Is it possible to read data from from a csv file without importing a library or adding custom functions?

There are parsers for json, yaml, jsonl, and regex. How would I best start to read a csv file, and keep column information?

I suppose csv could be translated to json,yaml or jsonl. But is there another way to try? At my institute there are a lot of people using csv files. I think it would be very nice to introduce pdl to them, as easy as possible.

Thanks.
