Is there a way to handle quoted null String in Scala?

Question

I would like to have the String, "null" converted to an Option[String] = None.

Answer 1

Alternatively,

    def convertToOption(value: String): Option[String] = {
          value match {
            case "null" => None
            case  _ => Some(value)
      }
   }

Answer 2

val x = "null" 
Option(x).filter(_!="null")
