Filebased data service in Java

I've found numerous posts about reading CSV with Java and the APIs they were pointing at all had a line-oriented approach when it came to reading a CSV file. Something like "while you get a line, get the values of every column".

Are there better ways to do that?

You will need a database. Whether you write your own or use a third party one.
If not you will be doing sequential searches on your data to find anything.
