Usage

const { csvToJson, jsonToCsv, parseCSV } = require('@devkits/csv-json-converter');

// CSV to JSON with headers
const csv = `name,age,city
Alice,30,NYC
Bob,25,LA`;

const json = csvToJson(csv);
// [
//   { name: 'Alice', age: '30', city: 'NYC' },
//   { name: 'Bob', age: '25', city: 'LA' }
// ]

// JSON to CSV
const jsonData = [
  { name: 'Alice', age: '30', city: 'NYC' },
  { name: 'Bob', age: '25', city: 'LA' }
];

const csvOut = jsonToCsv(jsonData);
// 'name,age,city\nAlice,30,NYC\nBob,25,LA'

// Custom delimiter (tab-separated)
const tsv = `name\tage
Alice\t30`;
const jsonFromTsv = csvToJson(tsv, { delimiter: '\t' });

// Parse CSV without headers
const data = csvToJson('Alice,30\nBob,25', { header: false });
// [['Alice', '30'], ['Bob', '25']]
