CsvKit
Parse CSV text at runtime in Blueprints and look up values by column name, row key or index, without creating Data Table assets.
Highlights
All 9 features →CsvKit turns a CSV-formatted string into a queryable object. Load the text from a file, download it over HTTP or keep it in a variable, then call Parse CSV Rows with your delimiter, quote character, optional header row and optional key column.
The returned Csv Kit Object gives you whole columns by name or index, whole rows by key or index, and single cells by name and key or by indices, plus the row and column counts, the column names and the row keys. Lookups that do not match return empty values instead of failing.
Use it for data that must stay editable outside the editor: mod and configuration files, tables exported from spreadsheets, server responses, localisation or balancing data that players or designers change without repackaging the game.
CsvKit is part of the Alpha XP utilities collection for Unreal Engine 4.27 and 5.8. Every feature is exposed to Blueprints, it ships with styled HTML documentation, and it is compiled and verified warning-free against clean UE 4.27 and UE 5.8 projects.
