+Subject: [PATCH] Align ordering of core node properties with i3
+
+Try to better mimic JSON node structure produced by i3 which might be
+relied on by already existing tools. In particular having "type" right
+after "id" is quite handy for streaming high-performance JSON parsers
+such as simdjson (which are handy for maintaining responsiveness on
+resource constrained systems).
+
