/**
 * If you need nulls to be written out to the database, use this annotation either at pojo class level or at field level.
 * Please note: If you set EncodeNulls=false and decode entities with undefined values within the mongo database,
 * the {@link DecodeUndefinedHandlingStrategy} will influence the decoded value
 *
 * Global behaviour can be set during registration of {@link de.bild.codec.PojoCodecProvider.Builder#encodeNulls(boolean)}
