Order API Changelog

Plan Description Field in Order API Now Uses Structured Object Format

The plan description field in the Order API has been updated from a single unstructured HTML string to a structured, machine-readable object. This change separates data from presentation, making it easier to parse, localize, and display consistently across interfaces.

🧾 Before

[KVM DIAMOND] => stdClass Object
(
    [id] => 1834
    [description] => "8192 MB RAM 1 CPU core 100 GB SSD ... <strong>30 TB Traffic</strong> ..."
)

• The description is a single HTML string.

• It’s meant for direct display on a webpage.

• Parsing values (like RAM or CPU) requires regex or manual parsing.

• Difficult to localize or transform programmatically.

• Mixes data and presentation (<br />, <strong>).

✅ After

[KVM DIAMOND] => stdClass Object
(
    [id] => 1834
    [description] => stdClass Object
        (
            [disk] => stdClass Object
                (
                    [size] => 100
                    [unit] => GByte
                )
            [ram] => stdClass Object
                (
                    [size] => 8192
                    [unit] => MByte
                )
            ...
        )
)

• The description is now a nested structured object.

• Clear separation of values and units (size, unit).

• Much easier to: Sort, filter, or validate

• Render dynamically in different formats (HTML, plain text, JSON)

• Translate units or localize for different languages

• Presentation logic can be handled elsewhere (frontend templates, markdown renderers, etc.)

💡 Why this change is good

• ✅ Easier to maintain and update

• ✅ Enables internationalization

• ✅ Enables filtering (e.g. “plans with ≥16 GB RAM”)

• ✅ Keeps raw data clean and reusable
