-
-There is currently no way to encode an empty object {}, as empty tables are
-encoded as empty lists [].
-
-With this patch, encode() will ignore table fields with the key json.null (which
-doesn't make sense anyways). This allows adding a field with key json.null to
-force encoding it as an object.

+
+Previously, the following caused a segmentation fault:
+
+    json.stringify({[{}] = true})
+
+This was caused by lua_tostring() returning NULL for anything but
+strings and numbers, letting json_object_object_add crash.
+
+This patch makes jsonc ignore all keys which have no string
+representation altogether.

+Subject: luci-lib-jsonc: allow encoding empty lists
+
+To be consistent with the behavior of luci-lib-json, an empty Lua table
+should be encoded to an empty JSON list, not an empty JSON object.
+
+To still allow encoding empty JSON objects, the usage of anything other
+than a number or a string as a key (for example an empty table or a
+function) can be used to force encoding as an object:
+
+    json.stringify({})                  -- "[]"
