Note

For performance reasons all HTTP, JSON, TextBuilder, and XML types are reference types, not value types. Reference types holds a pointer to the data elsewhere in memory, whereas value types store its own data.

Remarks

An unitialized variable of JsonObject type represents an empty JSON object. Given a value of JsonObject type, you can check if it is empty by checking that the number of keys in the object is 0.

jsonObject.Keys.Count =  0
