Create empty object in JSON via Json4s DSL












0















The JSON documents I'm creating need to have a properties field, even if there are no properties.



{"foo":"bar","properties":{}} is legal, {"foo":"bar"} is illegal.



How can I define an empty object to use as the properties value using the Json4s DSL?



("foo" -> "bar") ~ ("properties" -> ???)


I have tried Map.empty, new Object, (). All of these are not the correct type.

          I never used Json4s, but it seemed to work with:



          val map = ("foo" -> "bar") ~ ("properties" -> Nil)


          Here is my full code:



            import org.json4s._
          import org.json4s.native.JsonMethods._
          import org.json4s.JsonDSL._

          val map = ("foo" -> "bar") ~ ("properties" -> Nil)

          println(compact(render(map)))
