Even if you successfully convert this to JSON, any parsing done in the future has to have explicit awareness that the JSON was originally a `Map` and (even worse) that each sub-map (it contains) was also originally a map. Otherwise, there's no way to be sure that an `array of pairs` isn't just intended to be exactly that, instead of a Map. Hierarchies of objects and arrays do not carry this burden when parsed. Any proper serialization of `Map` would explicitly indicate that it is a `Map`.
