after the parse the (modified) contents from the server (empty string
changed to an empty array: `[]`) the object is passed internally to something
like a set which populates the properties on the model.
see also http://backbonejs.org/#Model-parse:
```
The function is passed the raw response object, and should return
the attributes hash to be set on the model.
```
