> This would give any client the ability to ask for exactly what it wanted with different depths to the structure if necessary. While you could serialize that into a URL, that seems like a kludge.
Not sure why: your structure looks like an ad-hoc (and hard to read) selection query language (e.g. XPath, CSS selectors, ...). I'm sure it sounds good when throwing the idea in the air "oh the response has the exact same shape as the body", but I'd expect it to not be very good in practice (much like Go's weird-ass date formats)
