 Blank
 =====
 
-Validates that a value is blank, defined as equal to a blank string or equal
-to ``null``. To force that a value strictly be equal to ``null``, see the
-:doc:`/reference/constraints/IsNull` constraint.
+Validates that a value is blank - meaning equal to an empty string or ``null``::
+
+    if ('' !== $value && null !== $value) {
+        // validation will fail
+    }

-.. tip::
 
-    To force that a value is *not* blank, see
-    :doc:`/reference/constraints/NotBlank`. But be careful as ``NotBlank`` is
-    *not* strictly the opposite of ``Blank``. Emtpy array and strictly
-    ``false`` are considered blank by the ``NotBlank`` validator but not by the
-    ``Blank`` validator.

 NotBlank
 ========
 
-Validates that a value is not blank, defined as not strictly ``false``,
-not equal to a blank string, not an empty array and also not equal to ``null``.
+Validates that a value is not blank - meaning not equal to a blank string,
+a blank array or ``null``::

 To force that a value is simply not equal to ``null``, see the
 :doc:`/reference/constraints/NotNull` constraint.
