Support for Browser API

🎉 New Release: Browser API

📝 Summary

This release adds first-class Browser support and a dedicated Browser API so convert-csv-to-json can be used directly in frontend apps and bundlers. The Browser API provides browser-friendly helpers for parsing CSV strings and File/Blob objects and includes TypeScript typings.

See the Browser API Usage documentation

✨ Highlights

• Browser support (usable in modern browsers via bundlers or ESM imports).
• New browser helper exposing sync and async methods:
  • browser.csvStringToJson(...)
  • browser.csvStringToJsonAsync(...)
  • browser.csvStringToJsonStringified(...)
  • browser.parseFile(file, options) (returns Promise)
• TypeScript typings available in index.d.ts.
• No breaking changes to existing Node APIs.

---

📦 What's new

• browser API mirrors the library configuration methods (e.g. .fieldDelimiter(), .formatValueByType(), .supportQuotedField()).
• parseFile reads File/Blob using the browser FileReader API and resolves with a parsed array of objects.
• Added browser-focused tests and TypeScript test coverage.
