The following errata report has been submitted for RFC6902,
"JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) Patch".

--------------------------------------
You may review the report below and at:
https://www.rfc-editor.org/errata/eid6351

--------------------------------------
Type: Technical
Reported by: Palle Cogburn <palle@4thex.com>

Section: GLOBAL

Original Text
-------------


Corrected Text
--------------


Notes
-----
If the patch elements included a property "previous" that contained the original value in case of an operation such as "remove" for instance, it would be easy to create the reverse operation - "add". In that way the path elements can be used as audit records and it is easy to revert a path or even a part of a patch, so the document is back to a previous version. All you have to do is apply the reverse patch and also add those elements to the audit trail.
Is this something to consider adding to this document or is it an implementation detail?

This erratum is currently posted as "Reported". If necessary, please
