Some
null values | ARIT | SA |
|---|---|---|
Notes | We just used whatever Microsoft had as their default implementation | |
Single Value | 200 - {} | 200 - null |
List Value | 200 - [] | 200 - [] |

The diferenec int he Single Values comes down to the approaches each group is doing in their domain models.
In ARIT, they are always trying to keep the same “object shape”. So, if a function is supposed to return a Person object, then it must return either a populated Person object or a Person.Empty object.
In SA, they return null when a record isn’t found in the database. So, their functions can return a Person object or null.

If we make any changes to any API’s, then we would bump the major version number and implement the new return types on that.
At some point in the future, I think it would be good to revisit the Fusion API because it’s returning a lot of data, when we only need a little (just the changes)
