[Question] Why limit data structure for amp-list?

Why limit data structure for amp-list? why every response should start with:

{
"items": []
}

i’m consuming 3d party service and the response from this service is

{
"top": [],
"middle": [],
"bottom": []
}

if i cannot use amp-list, it’s possible to use amp-state + amp-mustache + amp-carousel? or if i cannot use amp-list, it’s possible to use amp-state + amp-mustache + amp-list?

i don’t have acess to create an endpoint in the server and parse the data structure

Thanks!

Have you tried the items attribute I mentioned above?

<amp-list items="share_count" single-item>
