If you’ve ever worked with FHIR APIs (Epic, Cerner, etc.), you know the pain of updating resources in bulk.
Manually building JSON Patch (RFC6902) payloads from spreadsheets is slow, repetitive, and super error-prone.
I ran into this problem too many times, so I built a tiny cross-platform CLI tool that solves it.

I packaged binaries for macOS, Linux, and Windows.
Download it here on Gumroad (pay what you want, min $5):

By the way, This is a v0.1 side project — I’d love to hear feedbacks!
