We could, if we're going to do anything at all in this area. Another possibility would be to provide a second optional parameter for json{b}_strip_nulls. That's probably a better way to go.

Here's a patch that adds that argument (only for jsonb; no json implementation yet)

I think it looks sane. We're not stripping a top level null, which is one thing I looked out for.

I think we need a json implementation as well, though.

Thanks for having a Look, Andrew; 

if there aren’t any other objections, I’ll come back with a json implementation too. 

Attached is a v2 patch with the missing json implementation. 

jsonb one remains the same.

Please add this to the next Commitfest at https://commitfest.postgresql.org/52/

cheers
