If condition for null in json field

[wwalker (Walker)]

I'm using the JDBC filter to pull info from a SQL database. If the field is blank, it generates the below:

"example": [
      {
        "contoso": ""
      }
    ]

I've tried the below to remove the empty field, but it doesn't seem to work. What am I doing wrong here?

if [example][0][contoso] == "" {
    mutate {
      remove_field => [ "example" ]
    }
  }

Have you solved this?
Your logic for the empty value field is OK. What is possible that you get null instead "". In that case:

if [example][0][contoso] {
    mutate {remove_field => [ "example" ] }
}
