Applies a patch or a merge patch on the input JSON column.
When a (merge) patch cannot be applied, missing values will be generated, node execution will not fail.
See also the node: JSON Diff.
Given {"a":"b","c":{"d":"e","f": "g"} } let us assume the target is {"a":"z","c":{"d":"e"} } (changing a's value to z and
removing f). To achieve this, either the following patch should be applied:
[{"op":"replace","path":"/a","value":"z"},{"op":"remove","path":"/c/f"}] or
this merge and patch: {"a":"z","c":{"f": null} }
The following operators (op) are supported for patch:
add (path, value)remove (path)replace (path, value)move (from, path)copy (from, path)test (path, value)The merge and patch format reconstructs the parts that need to be changed (changes included), all else can be omitted.
It uses the fge/json-patch implementation.
To refer to flow variables, use the $${TflowVarName}$$ syntax (where T is S for String type, D for floating point numbers and I for integer numbers).
To refer to columns (boolean, numeric, String, JSON), use the $columnName$ syntax.
References to (0-based) row index ($$ROWINDEX$$), row count ($$ROWCOUNT$$) and row keys ($$ROWID$$) can also be used in values.
