json解析对应的value为null_如何在grails中解析JSON时获得实际的空值而不是JSONObject.NULL值...

I'm trying to parse some JSON in Grails using the grails.converters.JSON library. I have a field which will contain either a string, or a null value. When I parse the JSON and get the field, the null values come back as a JSONObject.NULL type. This is not good when checking != null as JSONObject.NULL is evaluated as non-null (not good for null checks)

def obj = JSON.parse('{"date1":null,"date2":"2011-06-26T05:00:00Z"}')

def date1 = obj.date1

if (date1)

parse(date1) // parse error occurs here because date1 evaluates true in the if because it is JSONObject.NULL

Is there an easy way to get the parse to parse a real null value so that I don't have to check if the object is a JSONObject.NULL.

I tried the suggestion here to use .toString(), but it ended up returning the string value 'null' instead of actual null for a JSONObject.NULL value.

Ian Roberts mentions a nice trick to make a null check possible:

JSONObject.NULL.metaClass.asBoolean = {-> false}
