And, thinking about this…as a PHP dev the interface between PHP’s associative arrays and JS’s arrays and objects tends to be JSON, with somewhat inconsistent results as JSON arrays have no specific indices. This is a major pain point.

@eli Hah. XML is the opposite end of the scale to JSON. Super flexible but big and cumbersome and sometimes hard to work with.
