Class JsonMergePatchDeserializer

public final class JsonMergePatchDeserializer
extends JsonDeserializer<JsonMergePatch>

Custom JsonDeserializer for JsonMergePatch instances

Unlike "real" JSON Patches (ie, as defined by RFC 6902), JSON merge patch instances are "free form", they can be either JSON arrays or JSON objects without any restriction on the contents; only the content itself may guide the patching process (null elements in arrays, null values in objects).

Jackson does not provide a deserializer for such a case; we therefore write our own here.
