Request: Annotation to ignore a property if that property is null

[electricjones]

I have run into a situation where I need to serialize a data class, but one of the properties is nullable, and I need to NOT include that property if the value is null.

@Serializable
data class Operation(
        val op: OperationType, // enumeration
        val pathString: String,
        @Optional val value: String? = null
) {}

When serialized, this gives a json object with three properties.

Ideally, there would be an annotation similar to @Transient like @TransientIfNull.

If there is a way to do this with a CustomSerializer, that would be great, too. Thank you.

Nevermind, I just saw #58. I am going to close this, vote for that, and connect the two.

Thank you.
