All right, but, before, why would you do that? I think if you really need to use csv (eg. some legacy system), you would rather want to read from the csv file, turn it into object and serialize it with JSON. In the other end you'd do the opposit. I don't think csv is a good format to respond with, just a persistency format, very limited by the way.
