Interface JsonPatch

public interface JsonPatch

JsonPatch is a format for expressing a sequence of operations to apply on a target JSON document.

A JsonPatch is an array of 'operations' in the form e.g. 

 [
   { "op": "add", "path": "/foo/-", "value": ["abc", "def"] }
   { "path": "/a/b/c", "op": "add", "value": "foo" }
 ]

The 'operations' are performed in the order they are in the JsonPatch and applied to the 'result' JSON document from the previous operation.
