* In the API, rename the "nutrient-id" fields (such as energy-kj, saturated-fat) to "nutrient-id_value", so that it matches the name of the field stored. It also makes clearer where the value is coded.

** It removes unnecessary conversions from kcal to kJ and back (which is not trivial, as some people/apps may choose a different conversion factor, such as 4.2 or 4.185)

** This would be a breaking change if some apps use the energy-kcal_100g/serving or energy-kj_100g/serving fields
