UUF: How to ignore all null values

[gewarren]

Type of issue

Missing information

Description

Why is there no way to ignore all null values when deserializing JSON? This used to exist! I shouldn't have to make my properties nullable if I don't actually expect nulls and a default value is perfectly acceptable if I receive one and ignore it!
