In XigtXML, both of the following result in an item whose text value is None:
<item />
<item></item>
However in XigtJSON, the first results in a value of None while the second is an empty string:
{}
{"text": ""}
On serialization, however, both codecs output the first of the two variants, respectively, so a round trip with XigtJSON would lose that empty string value of the item.
Both evaluate as False in a boolean context so this bug might go unnoticed, but it's worth making them consistent to avoid surprises.
