Minimise Document using Prototype

Quick question, I've got no idea what I'm doing so please excuse my ineptitude. Say I have a document, e.g. a wall: 
{
  "light": 20,
  "sight": 20,
  "sound": 20,
  "move": 30,
  "c": [
    840,
    201,
    630,
    201
  ],
  "_id": "IHq9JaSNgKneTEsm",
  "dir": 0,
  "door": 0,
  "ds": 0,
  "threshold": {
    "light": null,
    "sight": null,
    "sound": null,
    "attenuation": false
  },
  "flags": {}
}
{
  "light": 20,
  "sight": 20,
  "sound": 20,
  "move": 30,
  "c": [
    840,
    201,
    630,
    201
  ],
  "_id": "IHq9JaSNgKneTEsm",
  "dir": 0,
  "door": 0,
  "ds": 0,
  "threshold": {
    "light": null,
    "sight": null,
    "sound": null,
    "attenuation": false
  },
  "flags": {}
}
But I want to minimise it down to only the changed data from the defaults. I can check the defaults in WallDocument.prototype.constructor._schema.fields There I see that light always has an initial value of 20 so we can remove that. We also bin off the _id as we know we'll get a new one. A simplified object for this example would then be: 
{
  "move": 30,
  "c": [
    840,
    201,
    630,
    201
  ]
}
{
  "move": 30,
  "c": [
    840,
    201,
    630,
    201
  ]
}
Is there a trivial/simple way to use the wall prototype to reduce full data to just the non-default fields?

From a post elsewhere: foundry.utils.diffObject(WallDocument.prototype.constructor._schema.initial(),canvas.walls.placeables[0].document.toObject(), {inner: true})
