-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 i far prefer array's vs objects since you can much more simply step through the elements. I also like the definition of arrays over objects (think of the menu arrays, and pretty soon the form arrays.) On 28 Jul 2005, at 2:41 AM, vlado wrote:

You don't want to iterated through all fields of a user, for they have all different kinds of functions. Hence it is an object. But a list of terms associated with a node comes as an array. Because you will most likely want to iterate over it and perform the same action to each entry.
I'm fine with this logic. We should probably put an explicit explanation somewhere in the docs, for example in the coding style guidelines. I think there is a tendency to use objects vs arrays for estetic reasons only, which makes no real sense IMO.
