As per the specification, 6.4.4.3. Update (PATCH)
"Within a PATCH request, unchanged members within a JSON array may be specified as empty JSON objects, and clearing members within a JSON array may be specified with null"
My question is whether a service can choose to support empty and null for PATCH request of array of complex types only. For PATCH request of array of simple types, it will go with replacement of existing members with the give set of new members. This may look odd. The point here is, it still confirms to the specification.
case 1:
====
"RemoteRoleMapping": [
{"LocalRole": "Administrator", "RemoteGroup": "Admingroup15"},
{"LocalRole": "Administrator1","RemoteGroup": "Admingroup13"}
]
{"LocalRole": "Administrator", "RemoteGroup": "Admingroup15"},
{"LocalRole": "Administrator1","RemoteGroup": "Admingroup13"}
]
To delete the second element: (supporting both empty and null)
----------------------------------
PATCH
"RemoteRoleMapping": [
{}, null ]
{}, null ]
case 2:
=====
"StaticNameservers": ["3.3.3.3","6.6.6.6"]
Replace the existing elements (not supporting null)
---------------------------------
PATCH
"StaticNameservers": ["6.6.6.6"]
Any comments will be highly appreciated.
