If you're trying to serialize a list of object and one of them is null you'll end up including the null item in the JSON even with

mapper.setSerializationInclusion(JsonInclude.Include.NON_NULL);

will result in:

[{myObject},null]

to get this:

[{myObject}]

one can do something like:

mapper.getSerializerProvider().setNullValueSerializer(new JsonSerializer
