Module: Erlang::ETF::Extensions::NilClass

Defined in:: lib/erlang/etf/extensions/nil_class.rb

Overview

nil nil

Erlang equates nil with the empty array [] while other languages do not. Even though NIL appears as a primitive in the serialization specification, BERT only uses it to represent the empty array. In order to be language agnostic, nil is encoded as a separate complex type to allow for disambiguation.
