I guess the challenge is that the parsing and generating of the structures from JSON descends to several layers of functions, and the database object is created and inserted/updated at the lowest level. I've tried a bulk insert after accumulating records into a higher level function, but sometimes I need to query for an item previously inserted, so I'm back to inserting each item as created. The challenge is decoupling object creation from insertion without breaking the nested process approach.
