/**
* This is the configuration class used by the CSV writer ({@link CsvWriter})
*
* In addition to the configuration options provided by {@link CommonWriterSettings}, the CsvWriterSettings include:
*
*
* - emptyValue (defaults to null): Defines a replacement string to signify an empty value (which is not a null value)
*
If the writer has an empty String to write to the output, the emptyValue is used instead of an empty string
* - quoteAllFields (defaults to false): By default, only values that contain a field separator are enclosed within quotes.
*
If this property is set to true, this indicates that all written values should be enclosed within quotes (as defined in {@link CsvFormat})
