> What can you only do with NTK you can not do with 4D c-objects?
...tired right now...about 16 hours on planes. Whoever said "sleeping like
a baby" clearly hadn't met any babies.

Anyway, to your question. Check out JSON libraries in any other language
you like, you'll see what I'm saying. You can

* Freely inject any valid JSON element at any point, so arrays within
objects, objects within arrays, whatever you need.
* Read the same.
* Scan items and figure out a bit about their type. (This is a real pain in
4D when you use their array embedding tools.)

Here's an exercise: Define a C_OBJECT that has 'rules'. These rules can
just be in your head, but they should be something like "This element which
is required must have a value in the range such and so. This element which
is an array must have elements with contents in this range", etc. Figure
out how to do it in 4D. Mostly, you can, some bits, you just can't. I
tried. Hard. Failed.
