since we have diff, how about patch?

[tiye]

I'm using jsondiffpatch in my experimental project
sync-chat but suffering from the mutable data. Suppose I use immutable-js-diff, how can I do patching?

[pedroteixeira]

Currently patch is in another repo: https://github.com/intelie/immutable-js-patch/ -- the things is we also have a 'json schema' for the underlying data, so we should be able to make patch more robust (auto-create the correct strutcture if it does not exist, for ex).

I didn't notice anything about "JSON Schema", what's that?

[pedroteixeira]

Way to describe data structure: http://json-schema.org/
It's not implemented here in this repo, just giving you some heads up on the topic. The json diff/patch specs do not depend on it, but if you have it around, I think it can be useful.

Yes, Schema is useful in validation, just like static typing.
