When exposing a table/view using REST Data Services, the JSON responses include fields with a NULL value explicitly.
In some cases for tables sparsely populated this can add a lot of overhead (tons of NULL fields). This is being the case reported by a customer.
It would be nice having an option to completely avoid including the NULL valued fields in the JSON response.
It would be good having this sooner than later, as this customer is currently experiencing performance problems due to the overhead.
