  @moduledoc """
  Behavior for parsing and transforming loaded CSV data into application specific format before
  it's stored into ETS table.
  """

  @doc """
  After updater process has loaded CSV data, but before data is stored into ETS table an application can parse the
  raw data by writing a module implementing this behavior.

  To configure this method, use the :parser configure setting for a spreadsheet. If no :parser is configured or it is
  set to nil, the updater process will store the list of Worksheet entires into ETS table.

  Parameters:

  * spreadsheet_id  - The configured :id parameter for a monitored spreadsheet
  * worksheets      - List of Worksheet structures.

  Return values:

  * {:ok, version, data}  - Parsed CSV data is returned as data, version is a key uniquely identifying data.
  * {:ok, data}           - Parsed CSV data is returned as data. The key used to store data is a hash of the data returned.
  * {:error, reason}      - If parsing failed for a known reason.
