Usage Examples

1. Convert to CSV
   This plugin I've created for a specific file format that i needed.
   For example if you have a simple JSON:

   {
       "line1": "value1",
       "line2": "value2"
   }

   the exported file will look like this, assuming you are using the default options:

   "line1","value1"
   "line2","value2"

2. Convert to JSON
   From the same specific CSV format file

   "line1","value1"
   "line2","value2"

   It will be converted in a simple JSON file:

   {
       "line1": "value1",
       "line2": "value2"
   }
