I'm not sure I do, so let me ask some dumb questions.
* Why are you using objects instead of blocks of key/value pairs?
* Do the objects have behavior (functions)?
* If so, do the objects all have the *same* set of behaviors?
* Do the behaviors need to be saved, or just the data-like
attributes of the blocks?
* Why do you want to use numbers as the "names" of the blocks?
* Could you use the numbers as keys instead?
