How can you check if an object is empty?

Using the Object.keys() method to check if an object is empty is a reliable and effective approach. This method returns an array of a given object's own enumerable property names, in the same order as that provided by a for...in loop. If an object has no own properties, Object.keys() will return an empty array.

In the context of checking if an object is empty, the process involves calling Object.keys(yourObject) and then evaluating whether the length of the resulting array is equal to 0. If it is, this indicates that the object has no enumerable properties, thus confirming that it is indeed empty.

This method is generally preferred over other approaches for several reasons: it specifically checks the object's own properties rather than inherited ones, and it does so in a way that clearly indicates the object’s state with respect to its properties. This makes it straightforward and reliable for determining if an object contains any values.
