Do all objects have to have the same info in them in json?

Do all "objects" (I hope thats what they are called) have to have the same info in them. my example that I am working with.

{
        "name": "Grapes",
        "purchase_price":[
            {"Pierres's": 60},
            {"JojaMart": 75},
            {"Traveling Cart": null}
        ],
        "sell_price":[
            {"Base": 80},
            {"Silver": 100},
            {"Gold": 120},
            {"Iridium": 160}
        ],
        "is_multi_harvest": false
    }

And this is another example where you can only "buy" an item from a different person and not the others.

{
        "name": "Ancient Fruit",
        "purchase_price":[
            {"Pierres's": null},
            {"JojaMart": null},
            {"Traveling Cart": 1000},
            {"Oasis": null}
        ],
        "sell_price":[
            {"Base": 550},
            {"Silver": 684},
            {"Gold": 825},
            {"Iridium": 1100}
        ],
        "is_multi_harvest": false,
        "notes": null
    }

so in both examples, can I just get rid of the ones with "null" for them since you can't purchase it from them at all, or must I have them and give them this value?

No, nothing in the JSON Specification requires all elements in a list to have the same shape.

JSON is a set of rules about how to express data, what you put in it is all on you.
