# JSON Merge Patch
The library supports JSON Merge Patch ([RFC 7386](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7386)) as a patch format. The merge patch format is primarily intended for use with the HTTP PATCH method as a means of describing a set of modifications to a target resource's content. This function applies a merge patch to the current JSON value.

Instead of using [JSON Pointer](https://json.nlohmann.me/features/json_pointer/index.md) to specify values to be manipulated, it describes the changes using a syntax that closely mimics the document being modified. Unlike [JSON Patch](https://json.nlohmann.me/features/json_patch/index.md), a JSON Merge Patch cannot express every kind of change (e.g., it cannot reorder array elements or remove a specific array element), but it is easier to read and write for object-shaped documents.
