I am coming at it from the perspective of a user. When I was first doing things with JSON, I could not find anything that told me either that array elements could be anything or that object order didn't mattter.

There are quite a lot of potential users. /Elwyn _______________________________________________ Gen-art mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/gen-art
