Meme transcription: Panel 1. Two images of JSON, one is the empty object, one is an object in which the key name maps to the value null. Caption: “Corporate needs you to find the difference between this picture and this picture”

Panel 2. The Java backend dev answers, “They’re the same picture.”

    Thanks for the transcription!

    Surely Java can tell the difference between a key with a null value and the absence of that key, no?

    I mean, you can set up your deserialization to handle nulls in different ways, but a string to object dictionary would capture this, right?
