Example Playbook

Including an example of how to use your role (for instance, with variables passed in as parameters) is always nice for users too:

- hosts: servers
  roles:
     - jsonpatch
  tasks:
     - jsonpatch: file=/path/to/file/on/server key="first.second" value="new value"
     - jsonpatch: file=/path/to/file/on/server key="first.list" value={{ list_var }}
