Empty Named List

When building a JSON from an R list of lists, if you want to have an empty object instead of an empty array, you can use this object.

Usage

empty_named_list

Format

An object of class list of length 0.

Examples

# a is parsed as an empty object, while b is parsed as an empty array
jsonlite::toJSON(list(a = empty_named_list, b = list()))
#> {"a":{},"b":[]} 
# returns {"a":{},"b":[]}
