I'm not a language lawyer, but I would say that from a "conceptual" point of view is a string (e.g., you can concatenate it with other strings). How the null string is actually implemented, I think, it is a "private" matter of the implementation that could decide to represent it as a NULL pointer. Maybe a LL can elaborate more on this.
