I'm consuming an API that can return null for both character and numeric JSON values.

I would like to keep the "numeric values" (quantity, etc.) as numeric rather than varchar... So I downloaded a newer version of YAJL from Scott's website and experimented with the "skip_nulls" option (I was previously using "value_null").

This seems to work as I expected.... Just wondering if there are any caveats when using this option? I couldn't find much on this subject.

TIA
Greg
