This does not permit applications to perform partial resource modifications. In case of resources with larger or complex data, or in situations where a resource continuity is required, replacing a resource is not an option. Several applications using CoAP will need to perform partial resource modifications. This proposal adds new CoAP methods, PATCH and iPATCH, to modify an existing CoAP resource partially.}, }
