176. undefined to null

JavaScript

medium  - accepted / - tried

One of the differences between null and undefined is how they are treated differently in JSON.stringify().

JSON.stringify({a: null})      // '{"a":null}'JSON.stringify({a: undefined}) // '{}'JSON.stringify([null])         // '[null]'JSON.stringify([undefined])    // '[null]'

This difference might create troubles if there are missing alignments between client and server. It might be helpful to enforce using only one of them.

You are asked to implement undefinedToNull() to return a copy that has all undefined replaced with null.

undefinedToNull({a: undefined, b: 'BFE.dev'})// {a: null, b: 'BFE.dev'}undefinedToNull({a: ['BFE.dev', undefined, 'bigfrontend.dev']})// {a: ['BFE.dev', null, 'bigfrontend.dev']}

Always try to find a better approach.
