*If* we want to support ordered collections, than the JSON mapping should contain additional information on the sort order of the members. Like this: {"a": {}, "b": {}, "c": {}, "{somejcrrelateduri}sortorder": [ "a", "b", "c" ] }-1 that's too weird for me. Also, duplicating data is always problematic.What about {[{"a": {}}, {"b": {}}, {"c": {}}]} ? ;-)Cute, but will make JSON Pointers complicated - so we would trade a usable pointer notation for a more compact object representation.
Right, I wasn't too serious about this. I'd rather go with the explicit specification of the order as you proposed.
