## org.apache.commons.lang3
Class ObjectUtils.Null

    java.lang.Object
      org.apache.commons.lang3.ObjectUtils.Null

All Implemented Interfaces:
  Serializable

Enclosing class:
  ObjectUtils

    public static class ObjectUtils.Null

extends Object
implements Serializable

Class used as a null placeholder where `null` has another meaning.

For example, in a `HashMap` the `HashMap.get(java.lang.Object)` method returns `null` if the `Map` contains `null` or if there is no matching key. The `Null` placeholder can be used to distinguish between these two cases.

Another example is `Hashtable`, where `null` cannot be stored.
