Description

This follows on from and builds upon SOLR-9442's addition of json.nl=arrnvp style. See https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-9442?focusedCommentId=15664719&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-15664719 onwards for background info.

Example:

NamedList("a"=1,"bar”=“foo",null=3.4f,null=null)
=>
[
  { "name":"a",   "type":"int",   "value":1     },
  { "name":"bar", "type":"str",   "value":"foo" },
  { "name":null,  "type":"float", "value":3.4   },
  { "name":null,  "type":"null",  "value":null  }
]

This style maintains the type information of the values, similar to the xml format:

<lst name=“someField”>
  <int name=“a”>1</int>
  <str name=“bar”>foo</str>
  <float>3.4</float>
  <null/>
</lst>
