/**
* Outputs the specified array of strings to the specified Writer in the format of a line for a CSV file.
*
* "CSV" stands for Comma Separated Values.
* There is no formal specification for a CSV file, so there is significant variation in
* the way different applications handle issues like the encoding of different data types and special characters.
*
* Generally, a CSV file contains a list of records separated by line breaks, with each record consisting of a list of
* field values separated by commas.
* Each record in the file should contain the same number of field values, with the values at each position representing the same
* type of data in all the records. In this way the file can also be divided into columns, often with the first line of the
* file containing the column labels.
*
* Columns can have different data types such as text, numeric, date / time and boolean.
* A text value is often delimited with single (') or double-quotes ("),
* especially if the value contains a comma, line feed, or other special character that is significant to the syntax.
* Encoding techniques for including quote characters themselves in text values vary widely.
* Values of other types are generally unquoted to distinguish them from text values.
*
* This method produces output that is readable by MS-Excel, conforming to the following rules:
*
*
* - All values are considered to be of type text, except for the static constants {@link Config#ColumnValueTrue}
* and {@link Config#ColumnValueFalse}, representing the boolean values
true and false respectively.
* - All text values are enclosed in double-quotes.
*
- Double-quote characters contained in text values are encoded using two consecutive double-quotes (
"").
* null values are represented as empty fields.
* - The end of each record is represented by a carriage-return / line-feed (CR/LF) pair.
*
- Line breaks inside text values are represented by a single line feed (LF) character.
*
*
* @param writer the destination java.io.Writer for the output.
* @throws java.io.IOException if an I/O error occurs.
* @see FormFields#getColumnLabels()
* @see FormFields#getColumnValues(Map)
