 The same applies for the case when you try to serialize a TypeScript object to a JSON object. If the property is not defined in the class and optional, it will not be added to the JSON object.
 
+> Tip: Some API's return null instead of omitting optional values. 
+If you flag a property as optional, `json2typescript` will ignore null values and keep the default value of the property instead. 
+This fact is particularly helpful if your project uses TypeScript `strictNullChecks` or/and disallows `null` values through the `valueCheckingMode` property in `json2typescript`.

-> Tip: The TypeScript developer team suggests you to avoid null values. If your JSON api doesn't return null values, you should try the last flag disallowing null values.
+> Tip: The TypeScript documentation suggests to avoid null values.
+Compile your TypeScript code with `strictNullChecks=true` and set the `valueCheckingMode` to disallow null values.
+If your API returns `null` in some cases, simply mark these properties as optional in the corresponding `JsonProperty` decorator to avoid errors on runtime.
