Class Null

Represents a null[1] value in an Ion stream.

An Ion null differs from a Javascript null in that an instance of an Ion null may have data associated with it.

In particular, Ion nulls have an Ion data type:

 text encoding | Ion data type

====================================== null | IonType.NULL null.null | IonType.NULL null.string | IonType.STRING null.int | IonType.INT null.struct | IonType.STRUCT ...

They can also be annotated:

 customerName::null.string
 dollars::null.decimal
 meters::null.float
