Partial<> from javascript analog about tapir

I'm not aware of any tapir-specific patterns, so this might be a more general-Scala question. On first attempt, I think I would model it as you did. After all, you need to somehow express the optionality of each field in types.

The problem then is, what about optional fields? That is situations where you end up with Option[Option[X]] in the patch. Probably the json decoder would need to handle this appropriately when seeing a missing vs. null field?

Now i use jsonBodyWithRaw and parse json again for filter fake nulls..

@boryaferz yeah macros could work, though it might be problematic in IDEs.

I don't know which json parser you are using, but I think it should be possible to configure it to properly handle nested options, so that you don't have to do any hand-parsing. jsonBody just takes the json encoders/decoders that are in scope. But that's more of a question regarding the json library.
