Description
This is more a question that came to my mind will working with a relatively complex json file (following this schema: https://www.eclipse.org/unide/specification/v3/process-message/#messageDetail)
E.g. consider a simple example json like:
{
"values": [{"a": "a"},{"b": "b"}]
}
Do we really want to write it back like:
{
"values": [{"a": "a", "b": null},{"a": null, "b": "b"}]
}
A simple hack would be to just use this snippet to strip null value pairs before creating the object in to JSON (and remove the toEncoding implementation). If a PR is able to better explain my intention just let me know and I provide a draft.

I know that this might start an endless discussion about the semantic of "null" - but that is not my point, I think a (great, thanks!) tool like json-autotype couldn't support any corner case; so I wondered what is the most pragmatic interpretation in such a case. And since I haven't found any related issue I created this one. But please feel free to just close this issue if you consider this thing as already discussed.
