Modern JSON based API for CSV conversion

Conversion between CSV (comma separated values) text files and spreadsheet documents has been available for long via the convert-to API. However it was cumbersome. For example infilterOptions=44,34,76,1 set the field separator to ,, the text delimiter to “, the character set to UTF-8, and the reading would start from line 1.

The new JSON based API passes key:value pairs in a human readable format, which is easier to read, write, and less error-prone. It follows the example of the existing PDF export filter. The feature is documented on our SDK page and it is available already in Collabora Online 25.04.9.3.
