09/18/2018, 3:50 AMah, i can’t do that. i am using APACHE’s CSV lib, and you can assign columns to enums, but the columns have under scores and i want to keep the convention

gildor
09/18/2018, 3:50 AMYou need some layer of abstraction for that

Hamza
09/18/2018, 3:53 AMcuz the collumn names are like

gildor
09/18/2018, 3:59 AMFor enum constants, it’s OK to use either uppercase underscore-separated names (enum class Color { RED, GREEN }) or regular camel-humps names starting with an uppercase letter, depending on the usage.
