<div class="block"><p>This interface represents an immutable implementation of a JSON Patch
 as defined by <a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6902">RFC 6902</a>.
 </p>
 <p>A <code>JsonPatch</code> can be instantiated with <a href="Json.html#createPatch(jakarta.json.JsonArray)"><code>Json.createPatch(JsonArray)</code></a>
 by specifying the patch operations in a JSON Patch. Alternately, it
 can also be constructed with a <a href="JsonPatchBuilder.html" title="interface in jakarta.json"><code>JsonPatchBuilder</code></a>.
 </p>
 The following illustrates both approaches.
 <p>1. Construct a JsonPatch with a JSON Patch.
 <pre><code>
   JsonArray contacts = ... // The target to be patched
   JsonArray patch = ...  ; // JSON Patch
   JsonPatch jsonpatch = Json.createPatch(patch);
   JsonArray result = jsonpatch.apply(contacts);
 </code> </pre>
 2. Construct a JsonPatch with JsonPatchBuilder.
 <pre><code>
   JsonPatchBuilder builder = Json.createPatchBuilder();
   JsonArray result = builder.add("/John/phones/office", "1234-567")
                             .remove("/Amy/age")
                             .build()
                             .apply(contacts);
