UNLOCKING THE POWER OF JSON PATCH
Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter
JSON Patch is a standardized format for describing modifications to JSON documents that offers a simple and efficient method for applying partial updates (especially over HTTP). It works by applying a sequence of atomic operations, each specifying a type of change and a path within the JSON document. This allows for precise modifications, efficiency through transmitting only changes, atomicity for rollback, and idempotency for safe retries.
