What is com.github.fge:json-patch?
The com.github.fge:json-patch library provides a Java implementation of the JSON Patch (RFC 6902) and JSON Merge Patch (RFC 7386) protocols. These protocols define a format for expressing a sequence of operations to apply to a JSON document in order to transform it into a new JSON document, without having to send the entire replaced document. The library offers functions to apply patches, generate patches, and validate patch documents, enabling developers to efficiently manage and update JSON data structures in their applications
