Description

Here are some problems about the string representations of maps, lists, and arrays.

1. The brackets "[" and "]" in the string representation of an array can not be
distinguished from The bracket "[" and "]" in string representation of a list.
So it is better that they are changed to the braces "

{" and "}".

2. The braces "{" and "}

" in the string representation of a map is not
the groovy's syntax for map literal.
So it is better that they are changed to the brackets "[" and "]".

3. The representation of string keys or elements are bad.
So it is better that they are enclosed the double quatation marks.
