1) The parsing and converting are done with separate methods. Thus single responsibility.

2) It's a very small library. Less than 200 lines (including comments). There's no reason to put this in 2 jars, classes or packages. Have you looked at the code at all?

3) The method call to parse JSON is in the method that converts the CSV, but it's trivial to move it out and run it explicitly. Simply remove the call to parse and explicitly run it separate.

4) Client wanted the ability to filter out JSON data they didn't want in the CSV. Thus, it's a little more complicated than a call to something like JSON.parse() in Scala/Java.

5) Code does what it needed to do and made the client happy.

If you think you can do it better while keeping the code in Java/Scala, send a pull request to my repo and we'll discuss :)
