Problem/Motivation

Using JSON Serializer, I'm forced to change some field values to RAW output, in order to display the special characters as they are.

Side effect: When the RAW output is enabled, then the EMPTY string is displayed as

"field_address4": false,

it should be ""

"field_address4": "",

Proposed resolution

I tried with alter the value using hook_views_pre_render() 

$field_address4 = !empty($node->get('field_address4')->value) ? $node->get('field_address4')->value : "";

$row->_entity->set('field_address4', $field_address4);
$row->_entity->set('field_address4', (string) $field_address4);

It worked for a while, but the value is again now
