Mutating Admission Policy — JSONPatch
The same mutation can be written as a JSON Patch as follows The expression will be evaluated by CEL to create a JSON patch.

The same mutation can be written as a JSON Patch as follows
The expression will be evaluated by CEL to create a JSON patch. ref
Each evaluated expression must return an array of JSONPatch values. The JSONPatch type represents one operation from a JSON patch.
For example, this CEL expression returns a JSON patch to conditionally modify a value
Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):
```text
[
JSONPatch{op: "test", path: "/spec/example", value: "Red"},
JSONPatch{op: "replace", path: "/spec/example", value: "Green"}
]
```
To define a JSON object for the patch operation value, use CEL Object types. For example
Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):
```text
[
JSONPatch{
op: "add",
path: "/spec/selector",
value: Object.spec.selector{matchLabels: {"environment": "test"}}
}
]
```
To use strings containing '/' and '~' as JSONPatch path keys, use jsonpatch.escapeKey(). For example
Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):
```text
[
JSONPatch{
op: "add",
path: "/metadata/labels/" + jsonpatch.escapeKey("example.com/environment"),
value: "test"
},
]
```
CEL expressions have access to the types needed to create JSON patches and objects
JSONPatch - CEL type of JSON Patch operations. JSONPatch has the fields op, from, path and value. See JSON patch for more details. The value field may be set to any of: string, integer, array, map or object. If set, the path and from fields must be set to a JSON pointer string, where the jsonpatch.escapeKey() CEL function may be used to escape path keys containing / and ~. Object - CEL type of the resource object. Object. - CEL type of object field (such as Object.spec) Object..... - CEL type of nested field (such as Object.spec.containers)
CEL expressions have access to the contents of the API request, organized into CEL variables as well as some other useful variables …
