Does the Option types support deserialization for an API?

[dessalines]

I'd like to use these Option types in an API, IE currently an interface might be:

interface Person {
  name: string;
  display_name?: string // I'd like this to be display_name: Option<string>;
  ...
}

Would this be supported?

as far as I understand this issue correctly, it is possible, since under the hood Option<T> is T | null | undefined

feel free to reopen this issue if you need more clarification
