Implementation of JSON Patch () in PHP

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Require [`victuxbb/jsonpatch`](https://packagist.org/packages/victuxbb/jsonpatch)into your `composer.json` file:

```
{
    "require": {
        "victuxbb/jsonpatch": "@stable"
    }
}
```

or inside your root project directory

```
$ composer require victuxbb/jsonpatch @stable
```

Documentation
-------------

[](#documentation)

With a target JSON like this:

```
$targetJSON ='{"baz": "qux","foo": "bar"}';
```

and a variable with a JSON string operations:

```
$patchOperations = '[
     { "op": "replace", "path": "/baz", "value": "boo" }
   ]';
```

create a instance of Patcher and use the "patch" method to get the json result:

```
$patcher = new Patcher();
$result = $patcher->patch($targetJSON,$patchOperations);
```

$result will contain:

```
{"baz":"boo","foo":"bar"}
```

A typical use case with FOSRestBundle and JMSSerializer:

```
public function patchUserAction(Request $request,User $user)
    {
        $json = $request->getContent();
        $jps = $this->get('json_patch_service'); //symfony service that loads Patcher.php
        $serializer = $this->get("jms_serializer");

        $serializerGroup = array('view');

        $sc = SerializationContext::create();
        $sc->setGroups($serializerGroup);

        $jsonUser = $serializer->serialize($user,'json',$sc); //Generating the json target of object that we want to update
        $jsonUser = $jps->patch($jsonUser,$json); //json result with the changes applied of the json operations

        $dc = DeserializationContext::create();
        $dc->setAttribute('target',$user);

        //Restore the doctrine entity object with deserialization and targeting the object with DeserializationContext
        $serializer->deserialize($jsonUser,'Groupalia\BizApiBundle\Entity\User','json',$dc);

        $em = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();
        $em->persist($user);
        $em->flush();

        $response = new Response();
        $response->setStatusCode(200);

        return $response;

    }
```
