What does the JSON type Null mean in the GWAS REST API?
Created by: ramiromagno
Could you please clarify what type Null
means exactly?
In the docs we see often that some objects have type Null
, e.g., qualifier
under retrieve a study.
While reading about the null
type in json-schema.org it says that:
When a schema specifies a type of null, it has only one acceptable value: null.
In other places I read that it could mean missing data/not available.
So what exactly is its meaning in the JSON returned by the GWAS REST API?
