Interface JsonPatchBuilder


  • public interface JsonPatchBuilder
    A builder for constructing a JSON Patch as defined by RFC 6902 by adding JSON Patch operations incrementally.

    The following illustrates the approach.

       JsonPatchBuilder builder = Json.createPatchBuilder();
       JsonPatch patch = builder.add("/John/phones/office", "1234-567")
                                .remove("/Amy/age")
                                .build();
     
    The result is equivalent to the following JSON Patch.
     [
        {"op" = "add", "path" = "/John/phones/office", "value" = "1234-567"},
        {"op" = "remove", "path" = "/Amy/age"}
     ]

    1.1
