cwebber2 > When serialized, absent properties are represented by either (a) setting the property value to null, or (b) by omitting the property declaration altogether at the option of the publisher; these representations are semantically equivalent. If a property has an array value, the absence of any items in that array MUST be represented by omitting the property entirely or by setting the value to null. The appropriate interpretation of an
#
cwebber2 omitted or explicitly null value is that no value has been assigned as opposed to the view that the given value is empty or nil.
#
cwebber2 ^- I find this a bit confusing/surprising...
#
cwebber2 we're not supposed to preprocess the json before sending to the json-ld expander are we?
#
cwebber2 and for all properties? if a Link object does not contain a mediaType I can't imagine you need to fill that in with null
#
cwebber2 maybe I should file github issues as I bump into these things

jasnell cwebber2: what's up
#
jasnell oh, hold on, saw your other notes... one sec
#
jasnell if properties that have no value, simply omit it from the serialized result
#
jasnell don't worry about setting it to null
#
jasnell that's mostly for the consumption side. If you see "mediaType": null then you assume there's no value, not that the value is null

cwebber2 aha, clearer! :)
#
cwebber2 btw I'm working on an AS2 library for Python, as we discussed on last call.. Hopefully something to show by next call.
#
cwebber2 hopefully it can fulfill the test suite stuff too.
