No mechanism to create empty object.

[richburdon]

There doesn't seem to be a mechanism to create an empty dictionary object? Since [] in swift can be interpreted as an empty array or empty object. And,

var json:JSON = JSON([])

creates an empty array, so you can't add properties.

E.g., This would seem to be appropriate, but doesn't work

var json:JSON = JSON()
json["id"].intValue = 123
println(json)
{
"id": 123
}

In Swift, [:] represents an empty dictionary, but SwiftyJSON doesn't have an dictionary-based initializer yet. This should be quite easy to add.

Just checked it: var json:JSON = [:] works, because JSON implements the DictionaryLiteralConvertible protocol.

I think this issue can be closed.
