Spring Cloud Config Spring Cloud Config returns an empty string instead of an empty array

Describe the bug After upgrading to the latest version of Spring Cloud Config, I encountered an issue where the cloud-config service returns an empty string ("") instead of an empty array ([]).

<spring-cloud.version>2024.0.0</spring-cloud.version>

Sample Example:

config.yaml

network:
  urls: []

I expect to receive the following object:

{
  "network":{
    "urls":[]
  }
}

However, I receive this instead:

{
  "network":{
    "urls":""
  }
}

I noticed a similar issue in the past, which might be related to this problem as well. https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-config/issues/1572

Could you please investigate the cause of this issue as soon as possible? Thanks in advance!
