This utility supports the reading of csv files. The data can be written to different output formats such as json/xml.

It can be extended to other formats by adding the specific logic for a different output formats. An implementation of the DataWriter can be added to the writers/ package to extend this utility to other formats.

To run the code:

$ cd pipeline
$ go build && ./pipeline

To include sorting in the output files:

$ cd pipeline 
$ go build && ./pipeline -sort=name -asc=true
$ go build && ./pipeline -sort=rating -asc=false

To run unit tests:

$ cd pipeline
$ go test -v ./...
