HTTP method PATCH used to partially update a resource on the server. This method allows the client to send only the part of the data that needs to be changed to the server without sending the full amount of data, which makes it useful for efficient updating of large resources without the need to fully forward them.
For example, if you have a web application to manage your task list and you only need to change the status of one task from "in progress" to "completed", you can use the PATCH method. Your client code will only send updates to the server for the "status" field with the value "executed", and the server will only change that part of the information on the server without changing other data, which can reduce the amount of data transmitted and facilitate the processing of requests on the server.
