Can you pls show me few examples what do you mean exactly?
Is there a use-case for the example you've given above, where you take JSON containing objects and arrays, and flatten them out into a one-dimensional array?
There are a lot of things proposed here that are completely ignoring the idea of nested elements, which I think is a big mistake.
Frankly, I think the whole proposal needs to be rethought with an eye towards supporting and preserving nested elements instead of trying to just flatten everything out. If a user wanted things flat they would have just started with that in the first place. -- Jim Nasby, Data Architect, Blue Treble Consulting Data in Trouble? Get it in Treble! http://BlueTreble.com
