The value of the "customer" key is itself an object containing its own name/value pairs, and the value of the "items" key is an array whose elements are objects. Because both an object and an array of objects appear inside the top-level object, the payload contains two nested structures. A flat JSON document would contain only primitive values (strings, numbers, booleans, etc.) at the top level. Objects assigned to a key-regardless of brackets-are nested, so claiming that "customer" is not nested is incorrect. Finally, arrays are fully supported inside JSON objects, so suggesting they must be converted to strings is wrong.
