I prefer option one as well.

I have a very strong preference for Option 1. Option 2 adds a layer of indirection for all users, even those who don’t care about precision, while Option 1 means that only those who care about precision have to deal with it.

There tends to be two options for dealing with objects that have multiple timestamps and their corresponding precision. Sean and I have been talking through the pros and cons of these. We would like to get everyone's opinion. Which do you prefer, option 1 or option 2
Option 1:
This option put the burden on the JSON serialization format to add an extra "_precision" field to each timestamp enabled field. This is a much flatter and easier to parse and process representation, but the con is it requires unique field names.
{
"type": "incident",
"initial_compromise_time" : "2015-12-07T22:00:00Z",
"initial_compromise_time_precision": "hour",
"first_data_exfiltrated_time" : "2015-12-09T05:11:00Z",
"first_data_exfiltrated_time_precision" : "minute",
"incident_opened_time" : "2016-01-15T11:19:22Z",
"incident_closed_time" : "2016-01-19T17:24:017Z"
}
Option 2:
This option will require a nested object and struct to store this data and will have an extra layer of indirection for all of those times when the timestamp is at the default precision.
{
"type": "incident",
"initial_compromise_time" : {
"timestamp": "2015-12-07T22:00:00Z",
"timestamp_precision": "hour"
},
"first_data_exfiltrated_time" : {
"timestamp": "2015-12-09T05:11:00Z",
"timestamp_precision" : "minute"
},
"incident_opened_time" : {
"timestamp": "2016-01-15T11:19:22Z"
},
"incident_closed_time" : {
"timestamp": "2016-01-19T17:24:017Z"
}
}
