What setting do I set to make the JsonElement deserializer use null rather than JsonNull?

[Casey Brooks]

You can’t. The only Json container types, JsonObject and JsonArray, both require children to be non-null JsonElement. Similarly, they can’t directly hold onto primitive values. Both null and primitive values are wrapped in JsonPrimitive (either JsonLiteral when a value exists, or JsonNull if it doesn’t)
