That's because you're giving the method a string. This method and its overrides take objects and give the JsonElement equivalent of the object. It is not a shortcut for parsing or deserialization.

To get an empty array, use new JsonElement[].ToJsonElement(). This will give a single element containing an empty JSON array.
