## Okay, but why tho?

|
* OBJECTS WHERE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE STORED IN ARRAYS!
|
||||||
|
* Years of iCalendar, WebDAV and CalDAV, yet NO REAL WEB APIs!
|
||||||
|
* Wanted to hurt youself even more for some kicks? We had an rfc for that: [rfc7529](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc7529/)
|
||||||
|
* "Yes, please store the components of the component in arrays of their array! Please fail silently with an empty array if request parameters where invalid." – Statements dreamed up by the uttlery Derenged

|
### On a more serious note
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The jCal format may be great for transport and api stability. But if someone actual uses it without an api interface, you can expect bad code that references a lot of array indexes, resulting in unreadable code and longer debug times.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
