Description

CSV and JSON both convert strings to values in a Array but there is little code sharing beyond arrow::util::StringConverter.

It would be advantageous if a single interface could be shared between CSV and JSON to do the heavy lifting of conversion consistently. This would simplify addition of new parsers as well as allowing all parsers to immediately take advantage of a new conversion strategy.
