null

null is a library with reasonable options for dealing with nullable SQL and JSON values. There are two packages: null and its subpackage zero. Types in null will only be considered null on null input, and will JSON encode to null. If you need zero and null be considered separate values, use these. Types in zero are treated like zero values in Go: blank string input will produce a null zero.String, and null Strings will JSON encode to "". Zero values of these types will be considered null to SQL. If you need zero and null treated the same, use these. All types implement sql.Scanner and driver.Valuer, so you can use this library in place of sql.NullXXX. All types also implement: encoding.TextMarshaler, encoding.TextUnmarshaler, json.Marshaler, and json.Unmarshaler. A null object's MarshalText will return a blank string.
