This is not a valid representation of a Hash.  Which of these do you want?

irb(main):001:0> { 'Id:123' => [{id:1, name:'John'}, {id:2, name:'Sarah'}]}
=> {"Id:123"=>[{:id=>1, :name=>"John"}, {:id=>2, :name=>"Sarah"}]}

irb(main):002:0> { Id:123, members: [{id:1, name:'John'}, {id:2, 
name:'Sarah'}]}
=> {:Id=>123, :members=>[{:id=>1, :name=>"John"}, {:id=>2, :name=>"Sarah"}]}

...

That depends on your input and how you access it.

Kind regards
