Nested objects and arrays

When dealing with nested objects or arrays the output follows these rules:

• For a nested object an underscore seperates the parents from children.
• For arrays an underscore seperates the index of the item from the property name.
• Any data that is not found will be marked as undefined.

var data = [
    {
        "name" : "Montana",
        "age" : 27,
        "location" : {
            "current" : "San Francisco",
            "previous" : ["San Diego", "Newport Beach", "Mammoth Mountain"]
        }
    },
    {
        "name" : "Will",
        "age" : 25,
        "location" : {
            "current" : "New Orleans",
            "previous" : ["Orange County", "Coos Bay"]
        }
    }
]

console.log(aoot.csv(data))

// name,age,location_current,location_previous_0,location_previous_1,location_previous_2
// Montana,27,San Francisco,San Diego,Newport Beach,Mammoth Mountain
// Will,25,New Orleans,Orange County,Coos Bay,undefined
