From 2e0c8bb2d9609eeb519307ac45dba3817c20b44a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: jeonsworld Date: Mon, 1 Sep 2025 11:53:41 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] feat: Add optional append operation for efficient string concatenation - Add new `append` operation as an optional extension to RFC 6902 - Introduce `use_append_ops` parameter to enable/disable append operations - Support automatic detection of string append scenarios in make_patch() - Maintain full backward compatibility with RFC 6902 by default - Enable optimized notation for consecutive append operations in streaming The append operation is disabled by default to maintain RFC 6902 compliance. Users can opt-in by setting use_append_ops=True in apply_patch(), make_patch(), and JsonPatch methods. This feature is particularly useful for chat applications and streaming scenarios where text is appended incrementally, reducing payload size by ~2.8x compared to replace operations. --- jsonpatch.py | 174 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---------- 1 file changed, 141 insertions(+), 33 deletions(-) diff --git a/jsonpatch.py b/jsonpatch.py index d3fc26d..4ea3a35 100644 --- a/jsonpatch.py +++ b/jsonpatch.py @@ -53,16 +53,15 @@ from jsonpointer import JsonPointer, JsonPointerException - _ST_ADD = 0 _ST_REMOVE = 1 - try: from collections.abc import MutableMapping, MutableSequence except ImportError: from collections import MutableMapping, MutableSequence + str = unicode # Will be parsed by setup.py to determine package metadata @@ -71,7 +70,6 @@ __website__ = 'https://github.com/stefankoegl/python-json-patch' __license__ = 'Modified BSD License' - # pylint: disable=E0611,W0404 if sys.version_info >= (3, 0): basestring = (bytes, str) # pylint: disable=C0103,W0622 @@ -117,7 +115,7 @@ def multidict(ordered_pairs): _jsonloads = functools.partial(json.loads, object_pairs_hook=multidict) -def apply_patch(doc, patch, in_place=False, pointer_cls=JsonPointer): +def apply_patch(doc, patch, in_place=False, pointer_cls=JsonPointer, use_append_ops=False): """Apply list of patches to specified json document. :param doc: Document object. @@ -133,6 +131,9 @@ def apply_patch(doc, patch, in_place=False, pointer_cls=JsonPointer): :param pointer_cls: JSON pointer class to use. :type pointer_cls: Type[JsonPointer] + :param use_append_ops: Enable 'append' operation for string concatenation (not part of RFC 6902). + :type use_append_ops: bool + :return: Patched document object. :rtype: dict @@ -151,13 +152,13 @@ def apply_patch(doc, patch, in_place=False, pointer_cls=JsonPointer): """ if isinstance(patch, basestring): - patch = JsonPatch.from_string(patch, pointer_cls=pointer_cls) + patch = JsonPatch.from_string(patch, pointer_cls=pointer_cls, use_append_ops=use_append_ops) else: - patch = JsonPatch(patch, pointer_cls=pointer_cls) + patch = JsonPatch(patch, pointer_cls=pointer_cls, use_append_ops=use_append_ops) return patch.apply(doc, in_place) -def make_patch(src, dst, pointer_cls=JsonPointer): +def make_patch(src, dst, pointer_cls=JsonPointer, use_append_ops=False): """Generates patch by comparing two document objects.
