From PR #289:

I've called this "field names" consistently throughout the qlog documents. However, double-checking this with the JSON RFC at https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8259#section-4, they use "member names" or "object member names" instead.

I'm not sure that makes things any clearer for readers unfamiliar with JSON terminology, and changing things would be a big overall update across the docs, but potentially worth it for consistency? Either way, would require a new issue/PR.

I like the term qlog field names, especially as we want the qlog schema to be serialization format independent. Therefore I don't think we need to use JSON terminology. I made #362 as a way to make the sentences a bit cripser - but I could equally live without it.
