+Specifies which empty attributes should be retained for specific HTML elements during the jsonToHtml conversion.
+By default, the converter preserves the alt attribute for <img> and reference (asset) elements, even when their values are empty.

+When set to true, this option adds a non-breaking space (nbsp;) to empty blocks during the jsonToHtml conversion. This helps maintain the visual structure of the HTML output—especially useful for preserving spacing in editable content or content editors.
 
 You can use the following customized JSON RTE Serializer code to convert your JSON RTE field data into HTML format.
