Parameters

Parameter Description Example
json1 A JSON text or reference.
jsonPatch A JSON text or reference.

Result

Returns JSON or error.

Description

Applies a patch to a json document.
The jsonpatch functions implement the IETF standard JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) Patch.

The JSON Patch IETF standard requires that the JSON Patch method is atomic, so that if any JSON Patch operation results in an error, the target document is unchanged. The patch function implements this requirement by generating the inverse commands and building an undo stack, which is executed if any part of the patch fails.

Examples

Try it:

Let ( [
json1 = "{\"people\":[{\"first\":\"Christian\",\"last\":\"Miller\",\"city\":\"Nickenich\"}]}";
json2 = "{\"people\":[{\"first\":\"Peter\",\"city\":\"Nickenich\", \"zip\": 56645 }]}";
patch = MBS( "JSON.JSONPatch.FromDiff"; json1; json2 );
json3 = MBS( "JSON.JSONPatch.ApplyPatch"; json1; patch )
]; json1 & ¶ & ¶ & patch & ¶ & ¶ & json3 )

Example result:
{"people":[{"first":"Christian","last":"Miller","city":"Nickenich"}]} [ { "op": "replace", "path": "/people/0/first", "value": "Peter" }, { "op": "remove", "path": "/people/0/last" }, { "op": "add", "path": "/people/0/zip", "value": 56645 } ] { "people": [ { "first": "Peter", "city": "Nickenich", "zip": 56645 } ] }
