Abstract
The methods defined in RFC 7252 for the Constrained ApplicationProtocol (CoAP) only allow access to a complete resource, not toparts of a resource. In case of resources with larger or complexdata, or in situations where resource continuity is required,replacing or requesting the whole resource is undesirable. Severalapplications using CoAP need to access parts of the resources.
This specification defines the new CoAP methods, FETCH, PATCH, andiPATCH, which are used to access and update parts of a resource.
For the definition ofStatus,seeRFC 2026.
