emptyArray() does not match an empty array

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
I have a class RESTful Controller that returns a body with just

[]

Then I run these two lines of code on it.
get("collections").then().body("", empty());
get("collections").then().body("", emptyArray());

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect the first one to fail, and the second one to pass. Or POSSIBLY both to 
pass. But the second one fails.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Newest version of rest-assured

Please provide any additional information below.

This is the error it gives

java.lang.AssertionError: JSON path  doesn't match.
Expected: an empty array
  Actual: []

That's probably because it's represented as a List and not array. If there's 
such a thing as emptyList() then try that instead. I usually use "hasSize" 
instead:

get("collections").then().body("", hasSize(0));

Thanks! I was able to get it working with the below code.

        get("collections").then().body("", emptyCollectionOf(List.class));
