The API's are different. You can't just expect one to work with 
the api of the other.

Asdf is a bit more strict in that you have to specify whether you 
intent to iterate a json object (with `.byKeyValue()`) or a json 
array (with `.byElement()`).

Also the way you fetch values out of it is different. There is 
`.get!T(default)` that requires a default value in case it is 
empty (undefined), or `cast(T)field` if you assume there is a 
value and want an exception throw if not.
