Object with empty properties gets {} as a value

[sosadchuk]

Hi,

I'm converting JSON to YAML, input looks like the following:

{
  "version": 1,
  "strategyOperationsStatisticsSummary": {
    "totals": {
      "drops": 0,
      "creates": 0,
      "alters": 0
    }
  },
  "strategyObjectListsDetail": {},
  "strategyAndAnalysisOptions": {
    "strategyType": "compare",
    "strategyName": "CMPRSTRT",
    "strategyCreator": "USERID",
    "srcImportDataset": "USERID.CMPDDL.JOB68250.D0000101.?",
    "trgSSID": "SSID"
  }
}

JSON.parse() creates an object with property strategyObjectListsDetail as an object without any properties.

The following js-yaml dump() produces output:

version: 1
strategyOperationsStatisticsSummary:
  totals:
    drops: 0
    creates: 0
    alters: 0
strategyObjectListsDetail: {}
strategyAndAnalysisOptions:
  strategyType: compare
  strategyName: CMPRSTRT
  strategyCreator: USERID
  srcImportDataset: USERID.CMPDDL.JOB68250.D0000101.?
  trgSSID: SSID

You can see the strategyObjectListsDetail property literally having the value of {}. I wonder if that's ok, because it feels more correct to have it as an empty value like:

strategyObjectListsDetail:

Thanks,
Sergei.

However I guess that might be the only correct way to designate that it should be converted back to JS-object when using js-yaml load().
