#Installation

##Tests

#Documentation

##Operations can be constructed and applied independently

<?php

$target = ['1', '2', '3'];
$operation = new \gamringer\JSONPatch\Operation\Test('/foo', 'bar');
$operation->apply($target);

##Operations can also be constructed from a JSON string

<?php

$operation = \gamringer\JSONPatch\Operation\Test::fromDecodedJSON(json_decode('{"path":"/foo","value":"bar"}'));

##A patch can be constructed from a set of operations

<?php

$patch = new \gamringer\JSONPatch\Patch();

$patch->addOperation(new \gamringer\JSONPatch\Operation\Add('/foo', 'bar'));
$patch->addOperation(new \gamringer\JSONPatch\Operation\Test('/foo', 'bar'));

##A patch can also be constructed from a JSON string

<?php

$patch = \gamringer\JSONPatch\Patch::fromJSON('[{"op":"add","path":"/foo","value":"bar"},{"op":"test","path":"/foo","value":"bar"}]');

##A patch can be applied

<?php

$patch = \gamringer\JSONPatch\Patch::fromJSON('[{"op":"add","path":"/foo","value":"bar"},{"op":"test","path":"/foo","value":"bar"}]');

$target = [];
$patch->apply($target);

var_dump($target);

/* Results:

array(1) {
  'foo' =>
  string(3) "bar"
}

*/

If the patch fails, it gets completely reverted and an exception is thrown.

<?php

$patch = \gamringer\JSONPatch\Patch::fromJSON('[{"op":"add","path":"/foo","value":"bar"},{"op":"test","path":"/foo","value":"baz"}]');

$target = [];

try {
    $patch->apply($target);
} catch (\gamringer\JSONPatch\Exception $e) {
    var_dump($target);
}

/* Results:

array(0) {}

*/
