In a nutshell, the PUT and PATCH HTTP methods are used to indicate a request to change data.
Generally, when using PUT , it is readable that the change in data will be with reference to the complete entity.
Example: (/usuario/1234) :
Result: {'id': 1234, 'name': 'Joao', 'idade': 25, 'documento': '123.321.12-X'}
PATCH is used for partial updating, when you do not want to send the full payload.
Example: (/usuario/1234) :
Result: {'name': 'João'}
