JSON Patch Test Suite

This package (`json-patch-test-suite`) serves as the official and community-maintained collection of test cases designed to validate implementations of the IETF JSON Patch specification (RFC 6902). It does not provide an actual JSON Patch implementation, but rather offers a standardized data set comprising source documents, applicable patches, and either the expected resulting document or a description of an anticipated error. The current stable version is 1.1.0. As a static test suite for a well-established RFC, its release cadence is infrequent, primarily occurring when new edge cases are identified or the RFC itself undergoes revisions. Its primary value lies in offering a neutral, comprehensive, and widely-adopted benchmark that allows developers to rigorously test their JSON Patch libraries for strict conformance to the RFC 6902 standard, ensuring interoperability and correctness across various programming languages and environments. This helps to prevent divergent interpretations of the specification.
