Example POST of multiple resources:

POST http://example.com/users?
  users[0][first_name]=John
  users[0][last_name]=Doe
  users[1][first_name]=Jane
  users[1][last_name]=Doe

=====

Current params output:
  
{
  :users => {
    '0' => {
      :first_name => 'John',
      :last_name => 'Doe'
    }, 
    '1' => {
      :first_name => 'Jane',
      :last_name => 'Doe'
    }
  }
}

Which forces me to do something like this:

params[:users] ||= []
params[:users] = params[:users].values if params[:users].is_a?(Hash)

=====

Desired params output:

{
  :users => [
    {
      :first_name => 'John',
      :last_name => 'Doe'
    }, {
      :first_name => 'Jane',
      :last_name => 'Doe'
    }
  ]
}

# How it current works:
y ActionController::AbstractRequest.parse_query_parameters('users[][first_name]=1&users[][last_name]=1&users[][last_name]=2&users[][first_name]=3&users[][last_name]=3')

# How you can get around it:
workaround_params = 'users[0][first_name]=1&users[0][last_name]=1&users[1][last_name]=2&users[2][first_name]=3&users[2][last_name]=3'
y ActionController::AbstractRequest.parse_query_parameters(workaround_params)

# The ideal:
y ActionController::AbstractRequest.parse_query_parameters(workaround_params).map { |k,v| v.values }
