Based on your example target JSON document, in my current
implementation, your JSON Patch document would fail because there is no
"/baz" object to add "bud" to. The JSON Patch document that would
achieve what you're suggesting would be:
[
{ "add": "/baz", "value": { "bud": "qux" } }
]
Based on this, I can see the need to be clearer on how JSON Pointers
should be interpreted to clear the difference between these, and to
create a few non-trivial examples to illustrate.
