Quick intro to JSON PATCH in ASP.NET Core

Summary

To implement PATCH requests for partial updates on a REST API, developers should utilize the JsonPatchDocument type, specifying their DTO as the generic argument. The process involves fetching an entity, converting it to a DTO, applying the patch document for individual updates, mapping these changes back to the entity, and finally persisting the modifications. This approach allows for efficient partial updates by selectively altering specific resource properties within the database.
