I'm actually thinking the same but the other way around. 😃

I have a diff library that can produce JSON Patch document in RFC format but patching using such format is not yet support. This brought me here for alternatives.

Someone contributed some code a while ago that can create a patch from two documents (and even two objects), but there was no intermediate diff, so I left this open.
