title: How to set the default of a JSONField to empty list in Django and django-jsonfield?
body: <h1>Question</h1>
  
  <p>What is the best way to set a <a href="https://github.com/bradjasper/django-jsonfield" rel="noreferrer"><code>JSONField</code></a> to have the default value of a new list in <code>django</code>?</p>
  
  <h2>Context</h2>
  
  <p>There is a model where one of the fields is a list of items. In the case where there are no items set, the model should have an empty list.</p>
  
  <h2>Current solution</h2>
  
  <pre><code>from django.models import Model
  
  class MyModel(Model):
      the_list_field = JSONField(default=[])
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is this the best way to do it? Should it be switched to use <code>list</code> instead?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
