Web services for converting data from one format to another. The converters accept data as a query parameter named url. There's already CORS support and JSOP (add callback parameter to the URL). Empty column names will be auto-generated with column_1, column_2, etc. Duplicate column names will have _n added as well. For instance, two columns with name date will be date_1, date_2.
