Hi,

Hmm, it was a feature to handle zero length values properly, and at the same time I've added the unset() rewrite operation, which causes name-value pairs to be omitted.

It might make sense to add a --skip-empty-values or similar option to $(format-json), would that solve your problem? Can you elaborate your use-case?

Thanks

Hi - I'm trying to figure out how to instruct json-parser() to exclude empty (or nonexistent) json pairs from being passed to it's template.  This is possible with the csv parser using null("") but not json.

It seems that if i specify all my json-parser() pairs using --pair example=\"${MYMACRO}\" the desired behavior is achieved, however using --scope nv-pairs instead will log the empty values.
