Hi,
I believe I have found 2 issues in the json response for:
URL/admin.php?target=RESTAPI&_key=XXXXX'&_path=order&_ schema=complex


1 - the returned JSON spells "arrtibutes" instead of "attributes"
... "arrtibutes":[],"price":9.99,"weight":0.3,"quantity":6, ....

2 - if there are NO attributes, its shows as an array ie - surrounded by []
However, if there ARE attributes, it is not an array - missing the [ ]

... "arrtibutes":{"Color":"Yellow","Size":"S"},"price" :19.99,"weight":0.5,...

Can this be fixed?

Thanks! I've reported this to the XC5 dev team:

["Color":"Yellow","Size":"S"] is not a valid JSON. "[" and "]" can be used for plain lists only (like ["Color", "Size"]), so X-Cart converted its PHP array to a valid JSON object correctly.

Shouldn't the array be...
[{"Color":"Yellow","Size":"S"}],"price" :19.99,"weight":0.5,...

Inside brackets?

In PHP arrays elements may have custom keys:

PHP Code:

array("Color" => "Yellow", "Size" => "S") 


In JavaScript (JSON comes from there) arrays have no keys, so arrays with keys translate from PHP to JSON as objects:

{"Color":"Yellow", "Size":"S"}

There is nothing wrong in doing that and you won't get any benefits by wrapping the object into an extra array (that will always contain a single element only).
