Overview
A pure Dart package implementing the JSON Patch standard, enabling safe modification of JSON-like objects through patch operations and generating diffs between two JSON structures. It supports common operations such as add, remove, replace, move, copy, and test, making it ideal for incremental updates in data synchronization or version control scenarios. The package is lightweight, platform-agnostic, and designed for use across Flutter and non-Flutter Dart projects.
Use cases
- Real-time data synchronization
- Version control for JSON documents
- Incremental updates in APIs
- Testing and validating JSON changes
- Merging configuration files
Key features

- Generates diffs between JSON objects
- Pure Dart implementation
- Cross-platform compatibility
- Lightweight and dependency-free
Suitable for
- Developers working with dynamic JSON data
- Applications requiring change tracking
- APIs handling partial updates
- Tools for data comparison and merging
Considerations
- Not optimized for very large JSON structures
- Requires manual handling of nested object paths
- Limited error reporting for invalid patches
