Creating RFC6902 Patch Documents

[seddonm1]

Hi,
Is there a plan to create the RFC6902 patches as well as applying them? There are a few libraries floating around and this looks to be the most mature so having a canonical implementation of both 6902 and 7396 would be great.

  {"op": "replace", "path": "/name", "value": "Jane"},
  {"op": "remove", "path": "/height"}
]

Hi @seddonm1

Would you by chance have an example of how you'd like to interact with jsonpatch in creating RFC6902 patches?

[seddonm1]

Hi,
i was thinking that you would have a CreateMergePatch method for RFC7396 (existing) and a CreatePatch method for creating RFC6902 patches?

Hi!

It this planned to be implemented in a near future?

For example, at this moment some parts of Kubernetes apiserver like the admission webhooks only allow RFC6902 patches, that's why this feature would be interesting.

Thank you!

Hi @slok ,
Thanks for the bump.

Any thoughts @evanphx ?

Honestly, it slipped under my radar and I've forgotten about this. 😞 Oops.

I will take a look this week, and see what it'd take to do this. Unless someone else wants to tackle this, I'll see what I can do.

This is not planned but I'm happy to review a PR on it!

For the people who stumble upon this issue, I wrote a Go library for creating JSON Patch Documents (RFC6902).

You can create patches using Patchwerk and apply them using evanphx/json-patch.
