I think it’s a good idea if the top level item of the response JSON is always an object, rather than an array, at least as the default. Mainly because it allows you to add extra keys in a backwards-compatible way. Also just seems more expected somehow.

The API design guidance for the UK government also recommends this: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/gds-api-technical-and-data-standards#use-json

I also strongly dislike having versioned APIs (eg with a /v1/ path prefix, as it invariably means that old versions stop working at some point, even though the bit of the API you’re using might not have changed at all.
