No. struct is the right analogy. It implies a set of fields identified by their order (and the names are just convenient). dict and hash necessarily imply a set of unordered key–value pairs.

But: the input that gets encoded is a hash, and the output as decoded is a hash. So as far as a client of the library is concerned, it converts hashes (the details of the binarization, and the way values are matched to keys, is irrelevant housekeeping)
