 When an object is evaluated, all the field names are evaluated. This means they cannot refer to object locals, `self`, or `super`. In other words, their scope is "outside of the object".
 
+#### Conditional Fields
+
+If a field name evaluates to null, that field value is discarded and not included in the resulting object. The following code will evaluate to the empty object:
+
+```
+{
+  [if 1 == 2 then "foo"]: "bar",
+}
+```

 ## Independence from the Environment (Hermeticity)
 
 Jsonnet programs are *pure computations*, which have no side-effects and which depend only on the values which were explicitly passed.
