v2.2.2

This release updates the toolkit to version 2.2.2. It rolls up several major, minor, and patch updates that have been introduced since the last GitHub release (v1.6.0).

🚀 Major Modernization (v2.0.0)

• ES2016 Transition: The codebase has been fully reviewed and updated to ES2016 standards.
• Dependency Reduction: Removed node-fetch as it is no longer required.

✨ New Features (v2.1.0 - v2.2.1)

• Transform() Method:
  • Introduced the new Transform() method as a modern replacement for the toTable() method.
  • Integrated Transform() internally into the Dice() and Slice() methods.
  • Added support for the "objarr" output format in Transform().
  • Added support for the "object" output format in Transform() (providing direct compatibility with Google's DataTable).

🐛 Bug Fixes & Optimizations

• Performance: Optimized the Unflatten() method for greater efficiency.
• toTable() Fixes:
  • Fixed a bug when unit=true.
  • Fixed a bug when type="arrobj", comma=true, and field="label".
• Transform() Fixes: Corrected the treatment of null values when the comma=true option is enabled.

🔒 Security & Build Updates (v2.2.2)

• Resolved security vulnerabilities by upgrading build tools and dependencies:
  • Bumped rollup devDependency to 4.59.0.
  • Upgraded serialize-javascript transitive dependency (used by @rollup/plugin-terser) to 7.0.5.
  • Upgraded picomatch transitive dependency to 4.0.4.

📝 Documentation & Examples

• Substantially expanded documentation across API.md, EXAMPLES.md, and INSTALL.md with comprehensive examples (e.g., unemployment rates, population pyramids) and links to Observable notebooks.
