Patched

A library for reading, writing, and applying Json patches.

It is a completely specification-compliant implementation, although it does include its own extensions.

This library does not come with documentation on the patches themselves, however the Minecraft mod has documentation on this subject. For documentation on using the library, there is fairly extensive Javadocs in the source code, or one can look at the Minecraft mod for examples.

Installing

For users

This project is mainly intended to be an API for other projects to use. However, there is a Minecraft mod that implements patching functionality there.

For developers

There is no maven hosting this library (yet). Currently, your best option is using JitPack:

repositories {
    maven {
        url = 'https://jitpack.io'
    }
}

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.github.EnderTurret:Patched:<version>'
}

Extensions to the specification

Patched includes some optional extensions to the original specification, which are as follows:

• Test Extensions (testExtensions)
  • Existence test patch type
  • Inverse test patches
• Patched Extensions (patchedExtensions)
  • "Custom" test patch type
  • find operation
  • include operation
  • paste operation
  • Absolute paths (intended for find)
  • Json path placeholders (intended for find)
