# CSV min max integers

`csv-min-max-integers` · version 1.0.0 · CSV & tables · free, no key needed

Minimum and maximum of a CSV column of strict signed base-10 integer strings.

**Use when you need to: csv min max integers · csv integer range · min max csv integers.**

## Supported

- csv min max integers
- csv integer range
- min max csv integers

## Not supported

- floats
- ignore empty
- median
- locale

## Behavior

- Reuse baseline CSV parser and limits.
- Canonical signed base-10 integer strings: /^-?(0|[1-9][0-9]*)$/.
- Reject leading zeros, plus signs, spaces, decimals, exponents, hex, empty, and -0.
- At most 256 digits excluding the sign. Compute with BigInt. Never return JSON BigInt.
- Canonical output is the same form; 0 is "0".
- Every data cell in column must be a canonical integer string. Empty cells are invalid.
- No rows -> invalid_input.
- min and max are canonical integer strings. Comparison uses BigInt, not Number.

## Input

- `csv` (string, required): max length 256000
- `column` (string, required): min length 1; max length 256

## Output

- `min` (string, required)
- `max` (string, required)
- `rows_used` (integer, required)

## Limits

- max input bytes: 256000
- max data rows: 5000
- max integer digits: 256

## Example

Request input:

```json
{
  "csv": "n\n1\n-2\n10\n",
  "column": "n"
}
```

Response:

```json
{
  "result": {
    "min": "-2",
    "max": "10",
    "rows_used": 3
  }
}
```
