The cross-platform, high-performance Japanese CSV editor "SmoothCSV 3" was released on July 1. It is a donation-welcome freeware supporting Windows/Mac/Linux, currently available on GitHub. Release page It can be downloaded for free (however, the source code is not publicly available at this time).

"SmoothCSV" is a multifunctional CSV editor developed with the aim of becoming the "Visual Studio Code" for table data editing. App framework "Tauri" We have adopted it, combining the backend using the "Rust" language with the frontend utilizing "TypeScript" and modern web frameworks. Despite its multifunctionality, it maintains simplicity and high extensibility. The relatively small file size and low memory usage for its functionality are impressive.

The main features and functions of "SmoothCSV" are as follows.

・ Intuitively edit grids like "Microsoft Excel"

・ High performance that allows smooth handling of large files

・ Quick actions available at the right end of the tab bar in the editor

►Search and Replace

► Rearrangement

►Filtering

► SQL Console

・ Create complex filtering queries using the Visual Query Builder

・ Execute SQL queries on table data in the SQL console

・ Command palette like "Visual Studio Code"

・ Powerful copy & paste format. Copy cells in HTML table, Markdown format, or LaTeX style.

・ Supports various formats and character encodings. Can handle CSV files with different numbers of columns.

Internally, APIs are also prepared for extensions (used in the implementation of standard features), and it seems that opening them to third parties is planned for the future. Since they aim to open-source the software and integrate AI assistants as well, we can look forward to these developments.
