            Adds a value to an object or inserts it into an array. In the case of an array, the value is inserted before the given index. The - character can be used instead of an index to insert at the end of an array.

            ### remove

            Removes a value from an object or array.

            ### replace

            Replaces a value. Equivalent to a “remove” followed by an “add”.

            ### copy

            Copies a value from one location to another within the JSON document. Both from and path are JSON Pointers.

            ### move

            Moves a value from one location to the other. Both from and path are JSON Pointers.

            ### test

            Tests that the specified value is set in the document. If the test fails, then the patch as a whole should not apply.'
