jsonb_strip_nulls equivalent in sql server

I’m using next request to get json from some json type column in POSTGRES:

SELECT jsonb_strip_nulls(json_build_object(
        'employee', c."info"->'employee2', 'product', c."info"->'product2'
    )::jsonb) as info
FROM item."Item" AS c
WHERE "rootId" = '40a8cb67-84f8-33b5-87dc-e1b039858d43' GROUP BY "id") ...;

jsonb_strip_nulls omits unnecessary fields with null values. And I need to do the same in SQL server. I’m using next request to retrieve items:

SELECT '{ "employee": ' + JSON_QUERY(info, '$.employee') + ', "product": ' + JSON_QUERY(info, '$.product2') + ' }' as info
FROM item.[Item] AS c 
WHERE "rootId" = '3B319A76-A2C7-3DA1-8ECE-4736E4749261' GROUP BY "id") ...;

When I try to get some not existed field I receive nulls for all. But I need to omit fields that are present in JSON. For example, if product2 field doesn’t exist and ’employee’ exists I want to see employees in the response. How I can do It?

UPD: SQL server version:
Microsoft Azure SQL Edge Developer (RTM) – 15.0.2000.1552 (ARM64)

info content is json type field, something like:

{
  "_key": {
    "id": "3b8d1ed7-c3ec-32ec-a083-2ddc17152e94",
    "rootId": "15c85327-9628-3685-b84a-375b546ba92a",
  },
  "employee": {
    "idNumber": "3",
    "gender": "M",
    ....
  },
  "product": {
    "plan": "prod",
    "class": "1",
    "_type": "Product",
    ...
  }
}

>Solution :

You may try to build the expected JSON content with FOR JSON PATH and WITHOUT_ARRAY_WRAPPER modifier:

SELECT info = (
  SELECT 
     employee = JSON_QUERY(info, '$.employee'), 
     product = JSON_QUERY(info, '$.product2')
  FOR JSON PATH, WITHOUT_ARRAY_WRAPPER
)  
FROM item

On an Azure instance you may use JSON_OBJECT() (… I’m not sure if this feature is supported on Microsoft Azure SQL Edge Developer):

SELECT JSON_OBJECT(
   'employee': JSON_QUERY(info, '$.employee'),
   'product': JSON_QUERY(info, '$.product2')
   ABSENT ON NULL
) AS info
FROM Item
