Imagine you wish to update the user using an API.
We transmit all of the resource's attributes along with the PUT request.

📌 PATCH
It's an alternate technique for upgrading resources.
In this instance, the client provides a portion of the modified data rather than changing the complete resource.
Fields that are not part of the payload won't be updated.
We're sending an email and an avatar.
