[Proposal] Decide based on JSONParserConfiguration, If a field can be ignored while creating JSONObject from Object type

[harshith8854]

Hi,

I have a scenario where we are creating a JSONObject for a MAP and there is a possiblity of values being instances of custom class types with no fields initialized. We expect the fields to be retained in JSONObject which is not happening currently. I could think the below line is the reason for the uninitialized fields being ignored.

JSON-java/src/main/java/org/json/JSONObject.java

Line 1791 in 24fafcf

if (result != null) {

It would be good to consider JSONParserConfiguration.isUseNativeNulls() to decide if the fields can be ignored, just as implemented at below line.

Thanks

@harshith8854 Thanks for raising this issue. Seems like a reasonable request, no objections if someone wants to work on it.
