Description

Description

Would it be good to have the serialiser ignore Option<None> or "null" fields like some of the other serialisers do also? I find myself manually editing generated models to add

#[serde(rename = "clearPercent", skip_serializing_if="Option::is_none")]
clear_percent: Option<i64>

And I see some of the other languages already do this.
