Format of package.json is incorrect for dependencies and devDependencies

See original GitHub issue

Hello, I’m experiencing this error https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-builder/issues/3050 attempting to build Babylon into Electron. This is because the dependencies and devDependencies are an empty Array []. This should be {} (or removed). Here’s the snippet from the latest release:

{
    // ...
    "dependencies": [],
    "devDependencies": [],
    // ...
}

If someone could fix this in the packaging, that would be awesome.

Thanks for a great library.

Maybe it’s coming from here: https://github.com/BabylonJS/Babylon.js/blob/master/Tools/Config/config.json#L141-L142
