The way I think of it is thus:

Objects have properties and elements.

Properties are single items, which can be atomic items, like numbers or strings, or other objects.

Elements are lists of things, either atomic items or objects. There can be zero, one or more items in element lists. Elements can typically be accessed by index, name or a whose clause.

If either a property or an element is an object, then it should appear elsewhere in the dictionary.

It should be just that simple.
