Make Grouping Happen in the JSON

If I do a saved search on orders and items and use that in an application to retrieve the data,  I get a JSON with the items in an array and the header information being part of the main record.  This is exactly how I want it to work.

However, I am trying to perform a saved search to send Inventory information via EDI, and I want an array of all the records as a report, instead of individual records in my JSON.  

If short, I don’t want individual records in my JSON like this:

{

“record” : “name”,

“thing 1” : “5”

},

{

“record” : “name”,

“thing 2” : “9”

}

What I need instead is an array of records in JSON like this:

record : [

{“thing 1” : “5”}.

{“thing 2” : “9”}

]

Any suggestions?
