Serializing null

[ZawMinTun]

Hello everyone, Is it possible to serialize null as just null in java? For example, if I have a row such as below, Col1 Col2 Col3 ---- ---- ---- A null B Is it possible to seriazle the row above to the json below? {"Col1":"A", "Col2":null, "Col3":"B"} Thanks for taking your time and help a lot. Best regards, Zaw Min Tun

I think this question belongs at http://www.codeproject.com/Forums/1580226/JavaScript.aspx[^].

In fact, I'm doing this in Java, it's a Maven project and hosted as a web service on GlassFish. The service returns the data in json format. The problem is when the values are null, I have to serialize them as "" or "null". I want to return as just null. However, I still can't find a way.

Nice link

Just noting that I do JSON all the time and I definitely do not program in javascript. I use it in Java and C#.

Thanks for the information. About the only thing I know about it is what JSON actually stands for, which, according to http://json.org/[^], is JavaScript Object Notation.
