Feature Request - JSON PARSE - [" was found, but one of LEFT CURLY BRACKET was expected

It is possible in the JSON standard for a top-level JSON to have an array, e.g. [{..}, {..}]. However, this cannot be read with the current JSON parse, instead you have to build an object around it with string processing so that you can parse it. If it were then possible, you could specify a group structure for into and mark it as suppressed with "name group structure is omitted".
