Found an article to explain the difference between nullable and optional in OpenAPI 3. But it's in Japanese.

I hate Katakana.

レスポンス -> Response
データ -> Data
プロパティ->Property
オプショナル->Optional

Just slap them into Google translator and listen how they sound like.

Then you will likely to ask yourself: Why?
----
And just find out if you force Google translator to speak English in Japanese, you get the typical stereotype sounds of how Japanese people speak English.

BTW, I think in Java, optional is more or less equivalent to null. But Java doesn't tell you if a field can or cannot be null. You're going to find out when you run the code. That's one of the reasons why I prefer Kotlin. The type `T` means it must not be null. If you want nullable types, you must write `T?`.
