Hey, > Question 1: Why don't we also have some information about statement/claim order? This seems to be necessary for using the API JSON internally as planned.
To answer the first part: probably because no one got to that yet. As for the second part: how so? The internal format also does not have this. > Question 2: Wouldn't it be more convenient to store lists of things in all cases, and have the "map" version just as an optional API switch for users who don't care about order (it could remain the default)? This would help to retrieve order information more easily. That would better serve the WDTK use case, and those who do a full deserialization. I strongly suspect most users of the JSON do not fall into that category.
