Meme transcription: Panel 1. Two images of JSON, one is the empty object, one is an object in which the key name maps to the value null. Caption: “Corporate needs you to find the difference between this picture and this picture”
Panel 2. The Java backend dev answers, “They’re the same picture.”
You can always bind the JSON to a hashmap implementation, as that’s all JSON is anyway. It’s not pretty but it works.
