Description

Describe the bug

First, I want to express my appreciation for this amazing library! 🌟 The browser and ESM support, along with the features and ongoing maintenance, are fantastic.

I noticed the usage documentation on npm could be more comprehensive.

For example:
In my search for guidance, I came across the csv-stringify package and its documentation at link: https://csv.js.org/stringify/. While I found the "Additional Help" section with example folders, it contained three separate references:

While I appreciate having multiple resources, having them scattered across different locations made it a bit confusing to navigate.

This is one example.
The current structure may make it difficult for users to find a good usage example within a few minutes.

I believe a consolidated and easily accessible usage guide or API reference would be incredibly helpful, especially for beginners like myself.

Research direction

Start by comparing the npm usage documentation with the csv-stringify example page, samples folder, and test folder linked in the issue. Map where users currently look for examples and identify a consolidated usage guide or API reference. Done means beginners can find representative usage examples without navigating scattered resources.
