As part of my development I need to process some .csv files.
For what it matters I am writing a super fast CSV parser in java
I would like to ask if somebody can name some websites where I can find some good csv files so I can test my app.
Please don't tag this question is inappropriate I think developers would benefit from a list
of good sites where to find sample data
The baseball archive can be downloaded in CSV format. The batting statistics file contains a little over 90,000 rows of data which should be helpful in performance testing your app.
You can download the Sample CSV Data Files from this site.
Examples:
Sample Insurance Data
Real Estate Data
Sales Transactions Data
See also this question on sample data.
I've used http://www.fakenamegenerator.com for these purposes in the past.
Another good source is baseball reference. Pick whatever baseball player or manager you can think of.

This is a site that is in beta that can give you data in JSON, XML or CSV. All lists are customizable. This is a sample call to return data as CSV: http://mysafeinfo.com/api/data?list=dowjonescompanies&format=csv
