Compatibility with GeoServer REST API

The XML response is fully compatible with GeoServer REST API.

But the JSON response is not. It should be like below.

{
    "featureTypes": {
        "featureType": [
            {
                "name": "my_first_featuretype",
                "href": "http://127.0.0.1/workspaces/my_workspace/datastores/my_datastore/featuretypes/my_first_featuretype.json"
            },
            {
                "name": "my_second_featuretype",
                "href": "http://127.0.0.1/workspaces/my_workspace/datastores/my_datastore/featuretypes/my_second_featuretype.json"
            }
        ]
    }
}
