sorry, i missed seeing this second followup. the "top level" named list can probably be treated as a special case. yes it's a NamedList, but it the ResponseWriter is accesing it explicitly from the SolrQueryResponse.getValues() ... it would probably be fair for something like the JSONResponseWriter to treat it special as if it's a Map, and if something doesn't have a name make one up (or if has the same name as an earlier name munge it) by appending the position -- just to be safe. : 2) mark some other uses as "ordering is more important than accessing by key" as i said, i'd rather invert the use case set to find where "ordering isn't important" and change those to Maps -Hoss
