For image resources, two media types are supported:
application/openstack-images-v2.1-json-patch
application/openstack-images-v2.0-json-patch
The application/openstack-images-v2.1-json-patch media type is intended to provide a useful and compatible subset of the functionality defined in JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) Patch RFC6902, which defines the application/json-patch+json media type.
The application/openstack-images-v2.0-json-patch media type is based on draft 4 of the standard. Its use is deprecated.
The "JSON Patch extension" is an official extension of the JSON API specification. It provides support for modification of resources with the HTTP PATCH method [RFC5789] and the JSON Patch format [RFC6902].
It’s possible to use JSON-Patch by sending the request header Content-Type: application/json-patch+json.
