JSON will normally encode an array of objects as something like:
"batter":
[
{ "id": "1001", "type": "Regular" },
{ "id": "1002", "type": "Chocolate" },
{ "id": "1003", "type": "Blueberry" },
{ "id": "1004", "type": "Devil's Food" }
]
Is there a way that I can encode such that it the object definition is declared only once so that the name of the fields are not specified in each array entry?
Thanks,
Art
No. You have to repeat the field names in each entry.
JSON is deliberately very simple with generally only one way to express a particular data model, and sometimes this can make it a little more verbose.
