.NET Core: Remove null fields from API JSON response

Question

On a global level in .NET Core 1.0 (all API responses), how can I configure Startup.cs so that null fields are removed/ignored in JSON responses?

Using Newtonsoft.Js

This can also be done per controller in case you don't want to modify the global behavior:

public IActionResult GetSomething()
{
   var myObject = GetMyObject();
   return new JsonResult(myObject, new JsonSerializerSettings() 
   { 
       NullValueHandling = NullValueHandling.Ignore 
   });
};
