Comments:
Seems to be linked to the use of the undocumented `_resolve_features` method in the dataset viewer backend:

```
>>> from datasets import load_dataset
>>> dataset = load_dataset("asaxena1990/Dummy_dataset", name="asaxena1990--Dummy_dataset", split="train", streaming=True)
Using custom data configuration asaxena1990--Dummy_dataset-4a704ed7e5627563
>>> dataset._resolve_features()

Pinging @huggingface/datasets

Hi ! JSON files containing a list of object are not supported yet, you can use JSON Lines files instead in the meantime
```json
{"text": "can I know this?", "intent": "Know", "type": "Test"}
{"text": "can I know this?", "intent": "Know", "type": "Test"}
...
```

A JSON list of objects is supported as of version 2.5.0.
