How to deal with empty JSON object?

I’m working with an API that returns empty list when the app start. Its showing the following error in the particuler line: productList: List<ProductList>.from(json["ProductList"].map((x) => ProductList.fromJson(x))),

How can I handle this error? I saw some solution they providing an empty list[]. If you just tell me what syntax I should use here to handle this kind of error…

For this error my App loading infinite time sometimes.

My Model class

import 'package:meta/meta.dart';
import 'dart:convert';

MyCartItemListModel myCartItemListModelFromJson(String str) =>
    MyCartItemListModel.fromJson(json.decode(str));

String myCartItemListModelToJson(MyCartItemListModel data) =>
    json.encode(data.toJson());

class MyCartItemListModel {
  MyCartItemListModel({
    required this.status,
    required this.message,
    required this.userId,
    required this.cookieVal,
    required this.totalItem,
    required this.cartProductTotal,
    required this.shippingCharge,
    required this.cartTotal,
    required this.productList,
  });

  int status;
  String message;
  String userId;
  String cookieVal;
  String totalItem;
  String cartProductTotal;
  String shippingCharge;
  String cartTotal;
  List<ProductList> productList;

  factory MyCartItemListModel.fromJson(Map<String, dynamic> json) =>
      MyCartItemListModel(
        status: json["Status"],
        message: json["Message"],
        userId: json["UserId"] ??"",
        cookieVal: json["CookieVal"],
        totalItem: json["TotalItem"],
        cartProductTotal: json["CartProductTotal"],
        shippingCharge: json["ShippingCharge"],
        cartTotal: json["CartTotal"],
        productList: List<ProductList>.from(json["ProductList"].map((x) => ProductList.fromJson(x))),
      );

  Map<String, dynamic> toJson() => {
        "Status": status,
        "Message": message,
        "UserId": userId,
        "CookieVal": cookieVal,

      };
}

class ProductList {
  ProductList({
    required this.cartId,
    required this.productId,
    required this.productName,
    required this.productImage,
    required this.productSize,
    required this.productColor,
    required this.productRate,
    required this.quantity,
    required this.productTotal,
  });

  String cartId;
  String productId;
  String productName;
  String productImage;
  String productSize;
  String productColor;
  String productRate;
  String quantity;
  String productTotal;

  factory ProductList.fromJson(Map<String, dynamic> json) => ProductList(
        cartId: json["CartId"],
        productId: json["ProductId"],
        productName: json["ProductName"],
        productImage: json["ProductImage"],
        productSize: json["ProductSize"],
        productColor: json["ProductColor"],
        productRate: json["ProductRate"],
        quantity: json["Quantity"],
        productTotal: json["ProductTotal"],
      );

  Map<String, dynamic> toJson() => {
        "CartId": cartId,
        "ProductId": productId,
        "ProductName": productName,
        "ProductImage": productImage,

        "ProductRate": productRate,
        "Quantity": quantity,
        "ProductTotal": productTotal,
      };
}

>Solution :

You can check like this:

      productList: json["ProductList"] == null ? [] :
      List<ProductList>.from(json["ProductList"].map((x)
      =>ProductList.fromJson(x)
