CSV output causes problems for some apps about json

[ajschumacher]

It looks like the problem is that not all the internal quotes are getting escaped (where here I mean it in the goofy RFC 4180 double-quote-is-the-escape-for-a-quote-sense). Take a look at line ten of the CSV in what you linked to:

FedScope Accessions Cubes,"This raw data set provides the actual number of personnel actions (""Transfer-Ins" and "New Hires") ...

Those quotes were " escaped in the JSON, but only the first one is getting double-quote escaped in here. Is some regex not /g?

Good eye, @ajschumacher, you are right. And making matters worse, this version of jquery-csv is unsupported - it's 0.70, and 0.71 actually removes the fromObjects method entirely.

The real solution is to replace jquery-csv with our own flat-object-to-csv output method (which won't need all the fanciness of jquery-csv).

In the meantime, I've hotfixed the problem in jquery-csv in 4563d9c, and http://konklone.io/json/?id=9415277 should now parse OPM's /data.json file correctly.

Thanks @ajschumacher! And to @philipashlock, who originally reported this.
