Update __init__.py #30

Closed jorndoe closed 5 years ago

jorndoe commented 6 years ago

None becomes "None" in the Parker implementation.

Not good: <empty/> → {"empty": null} → <empty>None</empty>

Better: <empty/> → {"empty": null} → <empty></empty>

This PR also requires updates to the integration tests to make them work again.

@jorndoe -- sorry for reverting quite late.

The Parker convention REQUIRES that empty elements must become null.

I've instead modified it so that the null is translated back to an empty string.

So <empty/> → {"empty": null} → <empty></empty>.

Thankks for raising this.
