A generator that creates a JSON Patch Document from comparing two objects

Work in progress

If you faced any problems using this lib please feel free to create an issue. If the library was useful for you - give it a star. This way I'll be able to know that it's useful for someone and try to find time to continue working on it. All contributions are welcome

Installation

to use with AspNetCore (.NET Core)

via Package Manager

PM> Install-Package JsonPatchGenerator.AspNetCore

via dotnet CLI

> dotnet add package JsonPatchGenerator.AspNetCore

to use with Marvin.JsonPatch (.NET Framework)

via Package Manager

PM> Install-Package JsonPatchGenerator.Marvin.JsonPatch

via dotnet CLI

> dotnet add package JsonPatchGenerator.Marvin.JsonPatch

Usage

Everything is simple:

var patchGenerator = new JsonPatchDocumentGenerator();
var jsonPatchDocument = patchGenerator.Generate(first, second);

Using DI container (only for the AspNetCore version)

Add this line to the ConfigureServices method of your Startup.cs:

services.AddJsonPatchGenerator();

Add IJsonPatchGenerator<IJsonPatchDocument> as a dependency when you need it.

readonly IJsonPatchGenerator<IJsonPatchDocument> _jsonPatchGenerator;

public HomeController(IJsonPatchGenerator<IJsonPatchDocument> jsonPatchGenerator)
{
    _jsonPatchGenerator = jsonPatchGenerator;
}

Now you can use it:

var jsonPatchDocument = _jsonPatchGenerator.Generate(first, second);
