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.”
there is no "undefined" in java. this would either be a map containing the key value pair ("name", null) or it would be mapped to an object of some class with an attribute "name" which can hold a null value. in any case {} wont equal {"name":null}.
There's no "undefined" in JSON either
