 You can initialize Liquid variables with the [assign]({{ "/tags/variable/#assign" | prepend: site.baseurl }}) or [capture]({{ "/tags/variable/#capture" | prepend: site.baseurl }}) tags.

 You cannot initialize arrays using only Liquid.
 
 You can, however, use the [split]({{ "/filters/split/" | prepend: site.baseurl }}) filter to break a string into an array of substrings.

+## EmptyDrop
+
+An EmptyDrop object is returned if you try to access a deleted object. In the example below, `page_1`, `page_2` and `page_3` are all EmptyDrop objects:
+
+```liquid
+{% raw %}
+{% assign variable = "hello" %}
+{% assign page_1 = pages[variable] %}
+{% assign page_2 = pages["does-not-exist"] %}
+{% assign page_3 = pages.this-handle-does-not-exist %}
+{% endraw %}
+```
+
+### Checking for emptiness
+
+You can check to see if an object exists or not before you access any of its attributes.
+
+```liquid
+{% raw %}
+{% unless pages == empty %}
+  <h1>{{ pages.frontpage.title }}</h1>
+  <div>{{ pages.frontpage.content }}</div>
+{% endunless %}
+{% endraw %}
+```
+
+Both empty strings and empty arrays will return `true` if checked for equivalence with `empty`.
