ISSUE: The JSON result returned is valid but NOT easy to work with programmatically. Most of the data returned has keys that are actually the values.

EXAMPLE (CURRENT):

{

"employee_count_by_month": {

"2010-01": 111106,

"2010-02": 111323

}

}

SUGGESTED FIX:

{

"employee_count_by_month": [

{"month:":"2010-01", "count": 111106},

{"month:":"2010-02", "count": 111323}

]

}

DETAILS: You can't deserialize the data back into objects under the current schema because the key is truly a value and therefore not finite.

CONS: Makes the file larger

IDEA: You probably can't change the schema since it's been published - but you could add a flag that allows the data to be returned structured as in the suggestions above.
