[Bro-Dev] [JIRA] (BIT-1157) optional fields are missing from JSON logs

[Seth Hall (JIRA)]

Seth Hall commented on BIT-1157:
--------------------------------

Are those fields null or are they empty?  I think if they aren't represented in the output then they're actually null.  I could change the behavior to be if a field is null, have it actually write out "answers":null but I feel like that is just needlessly filling the output since not including the field has essentially the same effect with less junk being output.
