openapi 3.0 - change from array to dictionary/hashmap - rest

Question

This is basically the inventory example from Swagger Hub with a few items changed inside the array. Here is what the response looks like when I make a Python request to my SwaggerHub URL:
[{
"hostname": "server",
"ip_addr": "192.168.0.12",
"app_name": "generic",
"app_code": 12345678,
"xmx": "5678",
"jvm_version": "1.0.0",
"xms": "1234"
}]
How can I change the code so that it's a dictionary? I can't believe how many lines of YAML it takes to do what Flask or Falcon can do in about 5 lines of code.
Anyways, here is the template:

Thank you all.
Edit:
I was hoping to get the response like this:
{
"hostname": "server",
"ip_addr": "192.168.0.12",
"app_name": "generic",
"app_code": 12345678,
"xmx": "5678",
"jvm_version": "1.0.0",
"xms": "1234"
}

SwaggerHub mock server returns an array because your response is defined as an array:
content:
application/json:
schema:
type: array # <----
items:
$ref: '#/components/schemas/state_data'
To get an object response, use:
content:
application/json:
schema:
$ref: '#/components/schemas/state_data'
