The way I understand it, you're proposing to operate using HTTP verbs on subsets of a JSON document using something functionally identical to XPath for XML. The problems I see with this approach are: * JPath its self is a nebulous concept. * You're minting new URIs for each JPath expression. Ideally this would be done via query strings so that the resource URI maintained its identity. * There would be no way to do multiple updates per document, or to operate on multiple documents at the same time. -- Noah Slater, http://tumbolia.org/nslater
