A list of JSON objects is instantly compatible with both `pandas.read_json()` and `d3.json()` - but it leaves nowhere to put the extra information like pagination and suchlike!\r\n\r\nEven given this I still think the correct default is an object with `\"rows\"`, `\"total\"` and `\"next_url\"` keys. I should commit to that and implement it - this thought exercise has been running for far too long.", "reactions": "{\"total_count\": 0, \"+1\": 0, \"-1\": 0, \"laugh\": 0, \"hooray\": 0, \"confused\": 0, \"heart\": 0, \"rocket\": 0, \"eyes\": 0}", "issue": {"value": 627794879, "label": "Redesign default .json format"}, "performed_via_github_app": null}
