This approach involves using language-specific properties or methods that can quickly determine if an object or array has any elements. For objects, this often involves checking the number of keys, while for arrays it's about checking the length.
Time Complexity: O(1) because we are directly accessing built-in properties.
Space Complexity: O(1) since no extra space is used except for few variables.
1In this hypothetical C solution, we are assuming the use of some JSON library where JSON objects and arrays have defined length and size. The isObjectEmpty function checks if the length (or size) is zero to determine emptiness.
This method relies on the use of iterators to quickly assess emptiness by attempting to iterate over the first element. If there is no element to begin with, it returns empty.
Time Complexity: O(1).
Space Complexity: O(1).

7This is a more experimental C solution assuming some JSON library where iterators can be compared to check for zero elements (i.e., iterators at the beginning equal iterators at the end).
