I would use
   serialize(local:index(), map { 'method' : 'json' })
to serialize the whole array as JSON

I want to serialize JSON. Consider the following function:
declare function local:index()
{
 array{ $levinsohn/levinsohn/feature/header ! map {./name : ./description !
string() } }
};
When I run that, I get output that looks like this:
[map {
  "Ambiguous": "Marked but ambiguous constituent order."
}, map {
  "annotations": "Inline annotations."
}
!!! SNIP !!!]
That won't work as output in a REST API, so I want to serialize that without the map keyword. I tried to use fn:serialize():
declare function local:index()
{
 array{ $levinsohn/levinsohn/feature/header ! map {./name : ./description !
string() } } ! serialize(.)
};
That gave me this error: items of type map(*) cannot be serialized So ... what's the right way to do this? Jonathan
