Abstract:
Extensible Markup Language (XML) documents are widely used as containers
for the exchange and storage of arbitrary data in today's systems. In order to send changes to
an XML document, an entire copy of the new version must be sent, unless there is a
means of indicating only the portions that have changed. This document describes an
XML patch framework utilizing XML Path language (XPath) selectors. These selector values and
updated new data content constitute the basis of patch operations described in this document. In
addition to them, with basic <add>, <replace>, and <remove> directives a set of patches can
then be applied to update an existing XML document. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
