What I had in mind sounds pretty close to yours, really. I was thinking of adding a default somewhere along the line (possibly the end), so you could do:<p>json.structure.that.i.want.to.access.default(True)<p>Or something like that. I don&#x27;t really like the default item API I&#x27;ve come up... I&#x27;ll comment here if I do give it a go, thanks for the snippet!
