space before field name in comma delimited list of fields is considered as part of field name

[gopala000]

example: id, school.name,school.city,school.state,school.zip
output:

{
    "errors": [
        {
            "error": "field_not_found",
            "input": " school.name",
            "message": "The input field ' school.name' (in the fields parameter) is not a field in this dataset."
        }
    ]
}

expected:
field list need to be trimmed during validation

Thanks for pointing this out. I definitely agree that fields should be trimmed during validation.

I am going to transfer this issue to the Open Data Maker repository. Open Data Maker is the API layer for this application. This repository is scoped for the College Scorecard front-end specifically.
