This is a standard described in RFC 7386/7396 by IETF. It can be considered to serve a similar purpose to JSON Patch, but takes a different approach. The syntax of the patch document is close to the target that is to be updated. It too uses the HTTP PATCH method for submitting the patch document with the content type as application/json-patch+json. When doing an update using the HTTP PUT method, we would send across the entire document, but with the HTTP PATCH we send only the partial change of the entity. A null value is used to denote a delete operation.
