| description: |- |
| JSON representation of the value to be patched. This may be as well an empty object. |
| |
| Consider that the value has to be a JSON value. |
| |
| Examples: |
| * for a number, the JSON value is the number: `42` |
| * for a string, the JSON value must be quoted: `"aString"` |
| * for a boolean, the JSON value is the boolean: `true` |
| * for an object, the JSON value is the object: `{ "key": "value"}` -} We strongly recommend to use a restricted set of characters for the key (identifier). Currently these identifiers should follow the pattern: [_a-zA-Z][_a-zA-Z0-9\-]* |
| * for an list, the JSON value is the list: `[ 1,2,3 ]` |
| * special value `null` will delete the referenced key. For further documentation see [RFC 7396](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7396). |
