[Question] Is it possible to have SQL null values treated as null in Go but encode them to zero in JSON? #61

Closed maxiride closed 3 years ago

From the documentation I understand that types are either fully treated as zero or null values in Go and JSON.

I am trying to understand if I can use null values in Go but have them encoded to zero in JSON.

The zero package types will marshal to zero values in JSON but null in SQL. For example a blank zero.String will be considered null, and JSON marshal as "".

Sorry I must have made confusion in the phrasing but thanks for the clarification!

By the way awesome package!
