SRDV expert guidanceWhy are there no explicit row and column names in the seat layout API response?

To keep the API response lightweight and efficient, the seat layout data uses index-based mapping instead of separate row and column tags. Each seat's position is represented by:

 

This means:

  • RowNo defines the vertical position of the seat.

  • ColumnNo defines the horizontal position of the seat.

 

The layout is structured such that the array index acts as the reference. So, instead of sending redundant tags, we map seats directly using these numeric positions, which reduces payload size and improves performance.
