A Go library for applying RFC 6902 JSON Patch documents and creating/applying RFC 7396 JSON Merge Patch documents. It also supports comparing JSON documents and combining merge patches, with configurable apply options.

Use cases

  • apply rfc6902 json patch to a document in go
  • create a json merge patch from two documents
  • diff two json documents and generate a patch
  • combine multiple merge patches into one
  • apply json patch operations with configurable error handling

When to choose

  • you need standards-compliant JSON Patch (RFC 6902) or Merge Patch (RFC 7396) support in Go
  • you want a small, focused, well-established library with configurable apply behavior

When to avoid

  • you need JSON Patch support in another language
  • you need full JSON transformation or query capabilities beyond patching
