Subject: [OASIS Issue Tracker] Commented: (ODATA-316) Allow omitting properties with null or default values from responses
[ http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/ODATA-316?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=33367#action_33367 ]
Michael Pizzo commented on ODATA-316:
-------------------------------------
I think there's an important difference between structural and navigation properties. Today even a simple client can materialize an entity without needing to understand/generate any markup. We lose that if we require that simple client to know about metadata and default values.
If we were to do this I would want it something that the client had to opt into, separately from opting into minimal metadata (which, as the name implies, should just be "markup", not data). However, I really think the bits we'd be saving are unlikely to be worth the added complexity of adding another preference or format parameter -- the format parameters for json are already complex enough, and asking for different combinations doesn't scale well as the matrix of options expands.
