javascript - How to check if JSON return is empty with jquery

Question

$.getJSON(url, function(json) {
  var output = '';
  $.each(json, function(i,d) {

    if(d.DESCRIPTION == 'null'){ 
      console.log("Its empty");
    }
    var description = d.DESCRIPTION;
    output += '<tr><td>'+d.NAME+'</td><td>'+'<tr><td>'+d.DESCRIPTION+'</td><td>';
  });
});

I tried adding the

if(d.DESCRIPTION == 'null'){ console.log("Its empty"); 

to check if the object returned is empty, but it doesn't work.

Can someone explain to me what's wrong with this?

Answer 1

Below code(jQuery.isEmptyObject(anyObject) function is already provided) works perfectly fine, no need to write one of your own.

   // works for any Object Including JSON(key value pair) or Array.
  //  var arr = [];
  //  var jsonObj = {};
    if (jQuery.isEmptyObject(anyObjectIncludingJSON))
    {
       console.log("Empty Object");
    }
