Package null provides nullable types that are conscious of undefined values when marshaling or unmarshaling. Nullable types in this package can be marshaled to (unmarshaled from) JSON, as they all implement the json.Marshaler and json.Unmarshaler interfaces. In the example, bar is a String. If bar is valid, the resulting JSON is going to be: otherwise: Unmarshaling from JSON works the other way around: JSON value null is converted to an invalid nullable, otherwise a compatible JSON type is unmarshaled into the appropriate nullable. Nullable types in this package offer a Ptr() method that is useful to deal with the omitempty struct tag: In the example, bar is a String. If bar is valid, Ptr() returns a pointer to the underlying value, otherwise returns nil. json.Marshal will recognize nil pointers as empty values, omitting the associated name from the JSON output. Nullable types in this package recognize SQL NULL values and implement the driver.Valuer and sql.Scanner interfaces. Suppose we have the following table in our database: We may use the following struct that matches the table struct: In the example, bar is a String. If sql is inserted into the database, and bar is not valid, a SELECT query will return: otherwise: It is also possible to scan values from the database. In that case, if the scanned value corresponds to an SQL NULL, an invalid nullable is initialized, otherwise, a compatible SQL value is scanned into the appropriate nullable. Nullable types may also receive values from the command line via the flag package, as they implement the flag.Value interface: bar will be invalid if the command line option "-bar" is not passed or is empty, otherwise it will be valid and it will hold the content of "-bar".
