Overview

JSON merge patch is defined by RFC7386.

JSON merge patch defines a JSON document format appropriate for modifying a target JSON document. The format is suitable to use with the HTTP PATCH method and an "application/merge-patch+json" media type.

PATCH /target HTTP/1.1
Host: example.org
Content-Type: application/merge-patch+json

{
  "a":"z",
  "c": {
 "f": null
   }
}
