4.4. move

The "move" operation removes the value at a specified location and adds it to the target location.

The operation object MUST contain a "from" member, which is a string containing a JSON Pointer value that references the location in the target document to move the value from.

The "from" location MUST exist for the operation to be successful.

For example:

{ "op": "move", "from": "/a/b/c", "path": "/a/b/d" }

This operation is functionally identical to a "remove" operation on the "from" location, followed immediately by an "add" operation at the target location with the value that was just removed.

The "from" location MUST NOT be a proper prefix of the "path" location; i.e., a location cannot be moved into one of its children.
