Example

dim object as p
object.var1 = ""
object.var2 = null_value()
object.var3 = 0
object.var4 = "foo"
object.var5 = [1,2,3,4]

' Remove null properties - var1 and var2 - from object:
a5_JSON_prep(object)

dim json as c = varToJSON(object)
? json
= {
	var3: 0,
	var4: 'foo',
	var5: [
		1,
		2,
		3,
		4	
]
