It seems that the JSON structure changed. The hierarchy was something
like this: 

    ['whois-resources']['objects']['object']['attributes']['attribute']

When you called an URL like this:

    https://rest.db.ripe.net/ripe/route-set/AS5580:RS-SHADOWSETS:RS-AS15562-AS-SNIJDERS.json

but 'whois-resources' has been popped from the tree? Did something get
deprecated?

My guess is that the behaviour changed because of this commit:

    https://github.com/RIPE-NCC/whois/commit/2c83a067d0e4794ecaba9232f9b0f66b6ae3775a

Am I correct to assume that this change fixed
https://github.com/RIPE-NCC/whois/issues/114 but at the same time
introduced a new data model?

Kind regards,

Job
