Objects

{
  "a": {
    "b": "c",
    "d": "e",
    "f": "g"
  }
}

Flattens to:

{

}

Array of objects

{
  "a": [
    { "b": "c" },
    { "b": "d" },
    { "b": "e" },
  ]
}

Flattens to:

{
  "a.b": ["c", "d", "e"],
}

Array of objects with normal value in the array

{
  "a": [
    42,
    { "b": "c" },
    { "b": "d" },
    { "b": "e" },
  ]
}

Flattens to:

{
  "a": 42,
  "a.b": ["c", "d", "e"],
}

Array of objects of array of objects of ...

{
  "a": [
    "b",
    ["c", "d"],
    { "e": ["f", "g"] },
