I agree it is more predictable if the top level item is an object with a rows or data object that contains an array of data, which then allows for other top-level meta data. 

I can see the argument for removing this and just using an array for convenience - but I think that's OK as an option (as you have now).

Rather than have lots of top-level keys you could have a ""meta"" object to contain non-data stuff. You could use something like ""links"" for API endpoint URLs (or use a standard like HAL). Which would then leave the top level a bit cleaner - if that's what you what.
