Trying to understand JSON… (sopuli.xyz)

Meme transcription: Panel 1. Two images of JSON, one is the empty object, one is an object in which the key name maps to the value null. Caption: “Corporate needs you to find the difference between this picture and this picture”

Panel 2. The Java backend dev answers, “They’re the same picture.”

~~That’s not legal serialized json, in the context of how any lib in Java (that I’m aware of) would either parse or render it.~~

Ignore me, I misremembered, sorry about that.

Both instances are legal serialized JSON. What makes you think otherwise?
