/// # Purpose {#bdljsn_jsonnull-purpose}
/// Provide a type that represents the JSON `null` value.
///
/// # Classes {#bdljsn_jsonnull-classes}
///
/// -  bdljsn::JsonNull: type that represents the JSON `null` value.
///
/// @see  bdljsn_json
///
/// # Description {#bdljsn_jsonnull-description}
/// This component provides a single value-semantic type,
/// `bdljsn::JsonNull`, that can represent the JSON `null` value.  This
/// provides a degenerate (extremely limited) set of the conventional
/// functionality.  Objects of this class can be:
///
/// * default constructed
/// * printed ("null" is output)
/// * compared with each other (always equal).
///
/// Significantly, there is no way to specify or change the state of these
/// objects.  Thus, each object always has the same value as the others.
///
/// Additionally, support is provided for hashing via the `hashAppend` free
/// function and also a `swap` function.
///
/// ## Usage {#bdljsn_jsonnull-usage}
///
///
/// In this section we show intended usage of this component.
///
/// ### Example 1: Basic Syntax {#bdljsn_jsonnull-example-1-basic-syntax}
///
///
/// The scenario below illustrates almost all of the supported operations on the
/// `bdljsn::JsonNull` type:
///
/// First, we create a `bdljsn::JsonNull` object:
/// @code
/// bdljsn::JsonNull a;
/// @endcode
/// Then, we examine the object's printed representation:
/// @code
/// bsl::ostringstream oss;
/// oss << a;
/// assert("null" == oss.str());
/// @endcode
/// Next, we create a second object of that class and confirm that it equals the
/// object created above.
/// @code
/// bdljsn::JsonNull b;
/// assert( (a == b));
/// assert(!(a != b));
/// @endcode
/// Finally, we confirm that swapping the two objects has no effect.
/// @code
/// swap(a, b);
/// assert(a == b);
/// @endcode
