## Improvements
### JSON-RPC 2.0 Specification Conformance
The JSON-RPC 2.0 specification requires that a `"result"` property be present in the case of no error from an API call. This release ensures that all API calls that return a result have a `"result"` property in the response. This is a behaviour change over Lotus v1.26 and will impact any API call that only has a single error return value, where no error has occurred.
For example, a successful `WalletSetDefault` in v1.26 would return:
```json
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"id": 1
}
```
As of this change, in conformance with the JSON-RPC 2.0 specification it will return:
```json
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"id": 1,
"result": null
}
```
There is no change in the behaviour when a call returns an error, as the error object will still be present in the response.
