-------------------------------------
Hi Doug, unions with null with more than 2 other types will be serialized the
same was as they are now.
My patch only does this "enhancement" for unions of a null and another type.
I understand that we should not break compatibility until release 2.0, but do
you think this could be something that we might want to consider for 2.0 ?
> Json serialization of nullable fileds improvement.
