350-355: 💤 Low value

Format the JSON example for readability/correct copy-paste.

The "12" preset object (and nested "seg" fields) is currently very dense on one line, which increases the risk of accidental edits when users copy it (missing commas/quotes/brackets, etc.). Consider re-indenting the JSON to match the style used in earlier examples in this file.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Clarify what this numeric-key JSON payload is for ("9" playlist + "12" preset), and which endpoint to POST to.

This example uses top-level numeric keys "9" and "12" to define both a playlist and a preset in one payload, which differs from the earlier sample that uses a top-level "playlist": { ... } object. The section doesn’t explain whether this form is meant to:

  • apply a playlist immediately, or
  • persist/store a playlist and preset configuration (and which endpoint: e.g., /json, /json/state, /json/cfg, etc.).

Please add one short sentence under the code block (or adjust the example heading) clarifying the intended usage and endpoint so users don’t copy a payload that does nothing.

Remove or document the playlist.r field in the example.

The example includes "r": false inside the playlist object, but the Playlist object table above lists only ps, dur, transition, repeat, and end as valid fields. The documented uses of "r" elsewhere in this file (for segment properties like col, fx, and pal) indicate random values at the segment level, not the playlist level. Either document what r means for playlists in the table, or remove it from the example to align with the documented schema.
