Single character used for escaping. It only applies to characters matching the quote and the escape options default to double quotes (").

• Type: string|Buffer
• Optional
• Default: false
• Since: 0.0.1

Default behavior

The default escape value is double quotes ("). It is automatically applied when quotes are present.

import { stringify } from "csv-stringify/sync";
import assert from "node:assert";

const records = stringify([['a "value"']]);

assert.equal(records, '"a ""value"""\n');

Using a custom value

The custom escape example, uses the alternative backslash (\).

import { stringify } from "csv-stringify/sync";
import assert from "node:assert";

const records = stringify([['a "value"']], { escape: "\\" });

assert.equal(records, '"a \\"value\\""\n');
