Seems like those are two different JSON objects. The first is what you'd get
from a NeoJSONObject holding a Dictionary. The second is what you'd get
from a NeoJSONObject holding an Array holding a Dictionary as its only
element. Maybe just double check that the right object is getting created.
For JSON (https://json.org/) I think the order of the keys does not matter,
but the hierarchy does, so making an OrderedDictionary subclass seems extra.
