This class can convert a CSV file to have data in UTF-8 encoding.

It takes the name of a file with data in CSV format, detects the encoding of the text data that it contains and converts it to UTF-8 in case the data is not already in this encoding.

The resulting data can be stored in the same file or another file with a given name.

Some applications need to process text read from CSV files. Nowadays modern applications handle text encoded using UTF-8.

When the a CSV file that an application needs to process has text that is not encoded using UTF-8, it needs to be converted.

This package can perform this task, so applications do not need to perform additional text encoding conversion.
