Hi,

We’re trying to figure out if there are any benefits of doing:

option 1:

```auto
{
  "country": {
    "name": "United States"
  }
}

```

option 2:

```auto
{
  "country.name": "United States"
}

```

option 3:

```auto
{
  "countryName": "United States"
}

```

In terms of performance & usability.
