Importing data in bulk from a local spreadsheet is a standard requirement for many enterprise applications. While tools like Data Loader handle this out of the box, developers often need to build custom, self-service tools that allow end-users to upload and process CSV files directly from a custom page layout. In plain words: You can create a file upload interface using Visualforce, capture the file content as a binary blob, and use an Apex controller to parse the text data line-by-line. The code converts those text rows into Salesforce objects (like Contact records) and inserts them into the database in bulk.
