Making Java nullable fields backwards compatible

Hi there, I'm the author. Happy to answer questions if you have any :)

Hi, i might be out of the latest trends here but could you clarify the purpose of a "SDK"?

API's have always been there, but corresponding SDK's? A link to an evangelist article somewhere?

The main problem SDKs solve is providing a way to interact with an API without having to worry about nitty gritty details like serialization and deserialization, authentication, error handling, retries, connection and thread pooling, etc.

When you have a good SDK, interacting with an API feels like working with regular functions and objects in your chosen programming languages, so it _greatly_ simplifies integrating with an API.
