Sequences vs arrays

[dbaron]

Copying this issue from https://github.com/w3ctag/api-design-guide/issues/1 raised by @marcoscaceres

It would be great if the document could provide guidance on when to use a sequence vs when to use an array in an API.

See:
sysapps/telephony#81

There's also a brief conversation there.

Sequence is just the Web IDL name for arrays. Maybe the action item here is to make that clearer in the Web IDL spec?

Yes, this is correct. I'm wondering if this had to do with the (now defunct) Type[] in WebIDL. I don't think we need any particular guidance on sequences vs. array.

We agreed to close.
