JSON flatten & rebuild
Create a reversible typed JSON Pointer manifest and rebuild the original structure.
A clear answer. Here’s how.
Flattening emits one path/type record for each value, including containers, with leaf values preserved exactly. Container markers distinguish arrays from numeric-keyed objects and retain empty arrays/objects. Rebuilding requires the root first, parents before children, unique paths and consecutive array indices. Up to 10,000 manifest records; ordinary JSON node/size/depth limits also apply. Choose rebuild and paste a manifest produced by flattening.

]Typed JSON Pointer manifests preserve arrays, numeric object keys, empty containers and exact numeric tokens.
