JSON dumping should support a parameter to skip nil values #590

It's something one can easily do by calling .compact on the hash passed to JSON.dump, with the caveat of generating an extra object. Ideally one could do something of the kind:


JSON.dump_default_options[:ignore_null] = true

JSON.dump({bang: nil}) #=> '{}'
