To complement this answer

If you need to parse quotes escaped with another quote, example:

"some ""value"" that is on xlsx file",123

You can use

function parse(text) {
  const csvExp = /(?!\s*$)\s*(?:'([^'\\]*(?:\\[\S\s][^'\\]*)*)'|"([^"\\]*(?:\\[\S\s][^"\\]*)*)"|"([^""]*(?:"[\S\s][^""]*)*)"|([^,'"\s\\]*(?:\s+[^,'"\s\\]+)*))\s*(?:,|$)/g;

  const values = [];

  text.replace(csvExp, (m0, m1, m2, m3, m4) => {
    if (m1 !== undefined) {
      values.push(m1.replace(/\\'/g, "'"));
    }
    else if (m2 !== undefined) {
      values.push(m2.replace(/\\"/g, '"'));
    }
    else if (m3 !== undefined) {
      values.push(m3.replace(/""/g, '"'));
    }
    else if (m4 !== undefined) {
      values.push(m4);
    }
    return '';
  });

  if (/,\s*$/.test(text)) {
    values.push('');
  }

  return values;
}
