All good explanations, but I can't help but wish they had chosen a format like: { P0010001 : [ '710231', '4779736', // ... etc. ],

- asdfaoeu 14y agoWhy would that be better? You'd probably still have to convert it. And also that structure would be harder to convert to from a CSV format or a SQL query.
- tzs 14y agoI'm having trouble thinking of any situation where that would be more convenient or useful than the format they are using now. Where would your proposed format be an advantage?
