Description
At the moment, when there are no properties, an empty array is rendered into the json: properties: [ ]
This is why properties is always initialized with an empty collection.
I would like to omit the property "properties" completely, when there are no properties.

No file or test is named in the issue. Start by tracing how HAL-form JSON serializes the properties collection, then add coverage for an empty collection; done means the properties member is omitted when empty while existing non-empty output remains.
