Convert CSV values to a HashMap key value pairs in JAVA

Using FasterXML's CSV package: https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson-dataformats-text/tree/master/csv

public static List<Map<String, String>> read(File file) throws JsonProcessingException, IOException {
    List<Map<String, String>> response = new LinkedList<Map<String, String>>();
    CsvMapper mapper = new CsvMapper();
    CsvSchema schema = CsvSchema.emptySchema().withHeader();
    MappingIterator<Map<String, String>> iterator = mapper.reader(Map.class)
            .with(schema)
            .readValues(file);
    while (iterator.hasNext()) {
        response.add(iterator.next());
    }
    return response;
}

The problem is that when you split your str, the first element in each line is alone (i.e 1 and 2). So arr only contains ["1"], and hence arr[1] doesn't exists.

I.e for the example input :

1,"testCaseName":"ACLTest"

split by , => str contains {1, testCaseName:ACLTest}
split by : at the first iteration => arr contains {1}

Example :

String s = "1,testCaseName:ACLTest";
String str[] = s.split(",");
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(str));
for(String p : str){
    String arr[] = p.split(":");
    System.out.println(Arrays.toString(arr));
}

Output :

[1, testCaseName:ACLTest]
[1] //<- here arr[1] doesn't exists, you only have arr[0] and hence the ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException when trying to access arr[1]
[testCaseName, ACLTest]

for(int i=1;i<str.length;i++){
      String arr[] = str[i].split(":");
      map.put(arr[0], arr[1]);
}

So when insering "testCaseName":"ACLTest" and "testCaseName":"DCLAddTest", the first value will be erased and replace by the second one :

Map<String, String> map = new HashMap<>();
map.put("testCaseName","ACLTest");
map.put("testCaseName","DCLAddTest");
System.out.println(map);

Output :

{testCaseName=DCLAddTest}

So you have to fix that too.

Look at the output of the call String arr[] = str[i].split(":"); arr[1] does not exists for the first element in your CSV file which happens to be 1, 2... You can start the loop with int i=0 to fix this issue.

String.split is rubbish for parsing CSV. Either use the Guava Splitter or a proper CSV parser. You can parse CSV into beans using the Jackson CSV mapper like this:

public class CSVPerson{
  public String firstname;
  public String lastname;
  //etc
}

CsvMapper mapper = new CsvMapper();
CsvSchema schema = CsvSchema.emptySchema().withHeader().withColumnSeparator(delimiter);
MappingIterator<CSVPerson> it = = mapper.reader(CSVPerson).with(schema).readValues(input);
while (it.hasNext()){
  CSVPerson row = it.next();
}

Beside the problem you have with the first number which its not a pair and its causing the Exception, you will not want to use Hashmap, since hashmap use a unique key, so line 2 will replace values from line 1.

You should use a MultiMap, or a List of pairs in this case.

import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.FileReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.*;
public class Example {


    public static void main(String[] args) {

        String csvFile = "test.csv";
        String line = "";
        String cvsSplitBy = ",";
        HashMap<String, String> list = new HashMap<>();
        try (BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(csvFile))) {

            while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {

                // use comma as separator
                String[] country = line.split(cvsSplitBy);

                //System.out.println(country[0] +"  "  + country[1]);
                list.put(country[0], country[1]);
            }

        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        System.out.println(list);

    }
   // enter code here

}

using openCSV would be one way to do it

import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.io.FileReader;
import java.io.IOException;

import au.com.bytecode.opencsv.CSVReader;

public class CsvFileReader {
    public static void main(String[] args) {

        try {
            System.out.println("\n**** readLineByLineExample ****");
            String csvFilename = "C:/Users/hussain.a/Desktop/sample.csv";
            CSVReader csvReader = new CSVReader(new FileReader(csvFilename));
            String[] col = null;
            while ((col = csvReader.readNext()) != null) 
            {
                System.out.println(col[0] );
                //System.out.println(col[0]);
            }
            csvReader.close();
        }
        catch(ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException ae)
        {
            System.out.println(ae+" : error here");
        }catch (FileNotFoundException e) 
        {
            System.out.println("asd");
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            System.out.println("");
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}
