Hi Mark, Completely true. Maybe you would like to contribute that back perhaps? Even as a wiki entry that would be useful for folk, and I'm happy to help clean up / document if required. I was thinking at the time of the JSON PATCH draft RFC, aka http://www.mnot.net/blog/2012/09/05/patch http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5789 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-appsawg-json-patch-10 https://github.com/json-patch/json-patch-tests https://npmjs.org/package/json-patch Did you use this approach, or tackle it differently? Another idea that I had on the back burner was implementing cryptographic support for doc signing, e.g. pgp-like signing and validation, or even encryption. I think Jim Klo has done this or something similar already. A+ Dave
