Just started trying out Cereal. Is there a way to handle null strings and objects?

[oviano]

I have JSON data that contains some records where the string is null.

Elsewhere I have a nested JSON object, which can be null.

During deserialising, In these cases I would be fine with just getting a default string() or "", and a default object, but I can't see how?

I have handled this by adding a null check in the rapidjson GetString function.
