The non-webdev part of me is rather depressed that we've resorted to storing N typically homogeneous records in a way which results in the serialization of field names N times.
Wouldn't it be nicer to make the default format an object of arrays rather than an array of objects?
But to do easy and ~beautiful~ work on the objects (and to work on them the way most JS libraries expect data) you'd have to zipper the arrays together anyway.

In before "but gzip!"
