Description

Currently the org.apache.felix.webconsole.internal.core.ServicesServlet exposes the types information as single value string, not as proper JSON array value (https://github.com/apache/felix/blob/trunk/webconsole/src/main/java/org/apache/felix/webconsole/internal/core/ServicesServlet.java#L297).

An example response for a request to /system/console/services.json currently looks like this

{
"status": "676 services in total",
"serviceCount": 676,
"data": [
{
"id": "301",
"types": "[org.apache.sling.models.spi.Injector, org.apache.sling.models.spi.injectorspecific.InjectAnnotationProcessorFactory, org.apache.sling.models.spi.ValuePreparer]",
"pid": "org.apache.sling.models.impl.injectors.ValueMapInjector",
"ranking": "2000",
"bundleId": 129,
"bundleName": "Apache Sling Models Implementation",
"bundleVersion": "1.4.2",
"bundleSymbolicName": "org.apache.sling.models.impl"
},
....
]
}

The types value is

"[org.apache.sling.models.spi.Injector, org.apache.sling.models.spi.injectorspecific.InjectAnnotationProcessorFactory, org.apache.sling.models.spi.ValuePreparer]"

although it should rather be

["org.apache.sling.models.spi.Injector", "org.apache.sling.models.spi.injectorspecific.InjectAnnotationProcessorFactory", "org.apache.sling.models.spi.ValuePreparer"]
