Normalization

Raw output of docker-stats is smth like this:

{
    "my_container": {
        "blkio_stats": {
            "io_merged_recursive": [],
            "io_queue_recursive": [],
            "io_service_bytes_recursive": [
                {
                    "major": 253,
                    "minor": 5,
                    "op": "Read",
                    "value": 7020544
                },
                {
                    "major": 253,
                    "minor": 5,
                    "op": "Write",
                    "value": 0
                },
                *SNIP*
            ]
        }
    }
}

As one can mention, there are an array object inside key io_service_bytes_recursive and each element of that array is flattened JSON with key op within values. That behaviour may occur in other keys. docker-stats called with key --normalize tries to jsonify that to:

{
    "my_container": {
        "blkio_stats": {
            "io_merged_recursive": [],
            "io_queue_recursive": [],
            "io_service_bytes_recursive": {
                "Read": {
                    "major": 253,
                    "minor": 5,
                    "value": 7020544
                },
                "Write": {
                    "major": 253,
                    "minor": 5,
                    "value": 0
                },
                *SNIP*
            }
        }
    }
}
