Fields are messy because you have to check for nulls, yet JSON keys aren't messy because you have to check for nulls?

All json keys are optional, so you ALWAYS need to check for their presence or absence. Mess exists when some key is nullable and some isn't. Checking for nullability on a key that can never be null isn't extremely elegant.

Why is that a mess? I don't see the difference.
