How to Remove Keys with Empty Values from JSON using JavaScript

JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) is a crucial format for exchanging data between client and server in web applications. However, it's not unusual to encounter JSON objects that contain empty values. This can make API calls messy and cluttered, prompting the need to clean up the data by removing keys with empty values. In this guide, we'll tackle how to do this effectively using JavaScript.

Understanding the Problem

Consider a scenario where you have the following JSON object:

This JSON includes several keys, but some of them have empty string values. When preparing to send this data to an API, you want to exclude any keys that don't contain valuable information. For instance, the top key in our example holds an empty value for English, thus it should be removed.

The Solution

To efficiently remove keys with empty values, we can leverage JavaScript's Array.reduce() method. The following code snippet demonstrates how to achieve this:

Step-by-Step Breakdown

Define Your JSON Object: Start with your original JSON object.

Create a Recursive Function: To check for falsy values, use a recursive function to verify if an element is an empty string, an empty array, or an empty object.

Use Object.keys() and reduce(): Iterate over the object's keys using Object.keys(), and filter out any keys that are found to have only falsy values.

Implementation

Here is the complete code to achieve this:

Explanation of the Code

checkFalsy Function: This function is designed to check each value recursively to determine if it is empty. It works for strings, arrays, and objects.

Filtered Result: filteredJson will contain only those keys with non-empty values, ensuring your data is cleaner and ready for API calls.

Conclusion

By following the above code, you can effectively remove keys with empty values from your JSON objects, allowing you to send a more succinct request to your APIs. Remember that maintaining clean and relevant data structures is crucial in providing accurate information to your applications.

Cleaning up your data not only helps with performance but also enhances clarity, making your API responses much more meaningful. Happy coding!
