It is good to see some partial solutions to this issue. It plagues most languages and introduces a nice little ambiguity that is just trouble waiting to happen.
Ironically, JavaScript with its hilarious `null` and `undefined` does not have this problem.
Most JSON parsers and emitters in most languages should use a special value for "JSON null".
Null and undefined are fine imho with a sort of empty/missing semantics (especially since you mostly just care to == them) I have bigger issues to how similar yet different it is to have an undefined key and a not-defined key, I would almost prefer if
obj['key']=undefined
was the same as
delete obj['key']
