URL: https://github.com/apache/couchdb/issues/3943


   Support Json Arrays or custom keys for _bulk_docs
   
   ## Summary
   
   The Bulk doc insert works well but only if the data is sent in a very specific format. The "docs" key needs to have the array that needs to be inserted. It would be great if we had a way to customize that a bit. 
   
   ## Desired Behaviour
   
   `POST /db/_bulk_docs?arrayKey=keyname`
   
   Accepts the data below and adds the multiple documents under <keyname> instead of "docs"
   ```
   {
       "<keyname>": [
           {
               "key1": "value1"
           },
           {
               "key2": "value2"
           }
       ]
   }
   ```
   
   Also, it would be great to have a way of also passing the array directly and indicate as such in the parameter
   
   `POST /db/_bulk_docs?arrayKey=null`
   
   Accepts the data below and adds the multiple documents present in the array.
   ```
   [
           {
               "key1": "value1"
           },
           {
               "key2": "value2"
           }
   ]
   
   ```
   ## Additional context
   
   I'm trying to send data to couchdb from a 3rd party tool that has limited capabilities for customization. I know of a few more tools that can send data to webhooks for reporting/audit/alerting etc. and couchdb would be perfect way to ingest,store, query and report on this data.

   Years and years ago I believe this was the `_bulk_docs` API. We added the object wrapper for a reason that I vaguely recall as security-related, but I don't recall all the details offhand.
