Joan Touzet closed COUCHDB-3431.
--------------------------------
Resolution: Invalid
CouchDB is a document-oriented database, not an array-oriented database. As
such, we require the top-level structure to be an object, not an array.
This is because, at the very least, we have to place an "_id":"<value>" in the
object to act as the "primary key" via which to access the document itself. We
couldn't do this if the top-level is an array.

> Is anything invalid about the first member of an array being an empty object?
> Please post [{}] to your Couch. Does your Couch return invalid json 400
> error, or is it just me?
