It not a complete solution.

This part does not make sense, you are talking about PATCH, suddenly you mention POST. Note: FromBody contains entire request body of the POST request, not a piece of the body, is bound to a parameter. For this reason, you cannot have multiple parameters with the FromBody attribute in an action method. So are you saying, for PATCH is it ok (or not?) to "have multiple parameters with the FromBody attribute in an action method."

As per @sachin Kalia article, patch method update the value partially, but i have one question regarding this is internally patch use the POST or PUT??

Does this mean if I have an employee object and I want to update only firstname or lastname then Patch is better. But, what about if one time I need to update FirstName and another time LastName then in this case do I need to create to Resources one for firstname and another for lastname?

Thanks Sachin Kalia for clarifying. Its good to know that

The HTTP methods PATCH can be used to update partial resources. For instance, when you only need to update one field of the resource.most of the time you want to update one or two values in a resource, not everything, so the PUT method is probably not the right solution for partial update.In the example given above if you send an object like Employee keeps 20-25 values than PUT sounds good ,however if i just want to update a single values than as per the HTTP guideline Patch is better option.Kindly refer https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5789#page-2

Congrats Sachin Kalia for article of the day. I am curious to know or might be you did not clear the same in your post, why HTTPPATCH, when I can do the same thing using HTTPPUT. I ran the diffler and other tools which gives me the same thing payload etc even they are traversing same on the wire.
