Specification uses object terminology to describe data structures #175

Open joshuagl opened 3 years ago

joshuagl commented 3 years ago

The specification frequently uses the terms objects, attributes and attribute-value fields. This object related terminology almost certainly reinforces the notion that JSON is the preferred/required data format.

dictionary, field and key-value may help reduce the JSON-centric nature of the specification.
