It is unlikely that a complex data structure for general use will suit
every case where that data might be used.

If you don't use such objects much, then getter and setter functions
can help. They are also good if the data structure changes so all
access to particular properties can be updated in a single getter or
setter function.

If you access the data alot, then it might make sense to reorganise it
into a more efficient structure for your particular case.

This issue has been around as long as people have been sending data to
essentially unknown clients, which goes back to the early days of
Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) at least (early 1970s).
