+"""Convert JSON to CSV
+
+SYNTAX
+------
+
+    gridlabd -C input.glm -D csv_save_options="-t pandas -f PROPERTY=VALUE ..." -o output.csv
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+
+The filter option can be used to limit the output to object with matching properties, e.g.,
+
+	-f class=CLASS
+
+or
+
+	-f class="CLASS1|CLASS2".
+
+Multiple filters may be specified in which case, all objects will match all
+filters, with an "and" operation, r.h.,
+
+	-f class=CLASS name=NAME
+
+Filter values are interpreted using regular expressions, e.g.,
+
+	-f name=EXPRESSION
+
+Be careful to quote expressions that can be interpreted by the shell.
+
+EXAMPLE
+-------
+
+The following command downloads the IEEE 13-bus model and saves all the PQ bus nodes and loads:
+
+	gridlabd model get IEEE/13
+	gridlabd -C 13.glm -D csv_save_options='-t pandas -f class="node|load" -f bustype=PQ' -o 13.csv
