Bug description:json_decode skips value where json_encode includes it

Description:
------------
If you have empty array inside object, json_encode() does encode the value
into JSON format, but when the data is decoded with json_decode(), this
empty JSON array is omitted from output.



Consider following structure:



 ["timetable"]=>

  object(pizzaonline\model\Timetable)#30 (9) {

    ["id"]=>

    string(3) "774"

    ["timetable"]=>

    array(0) {

    }

    ["opening_hours"]=>

    ..



Corresponding json_encode would be:



"timetable":{

    "id":"774",

    "timetable":[



    ],

    "opening_hours":[

  ..



This is all right, but I have a loop that removes this empty array with
unset(). So PHP structure from JSON is encoded is like:



["timetable"]=>

  object(pizzaonline\model\Timetable)#30 (8) {

    ["id"]=>

    string(3) "774"

    ["opening_hours"]=>



But using json_encode() returns same result that is in snippet 2.



Just ask if any questions, I’ll do example script later...
