Patch on to-one relationships doesn't work due to issues with { "data": null } unmarshal

[brunoluiz]

If a user wants to remove a to-one relationship a PATCH should be done on the /resource/:resourceId/relationships/relatedResource, with a body containing the following:

{
    "data": null
}

(http://jsonapi.org/format/#crud-updating-to-one-relationships)

But, when err := jsonapi.UnmarshalPayload(c.Request.Body, data) is executed, an error is given with the following message "data is not a jsonapi representation of '*chronos.RelatedResource'". What should I do to allow null values on jsonapi representations?

@brunoluiz Did you ever find a solution for this? A different library? It looks like a PR to make this work was added in 2017 but in 2018 work was added which introduces the error.

I can't remember, but I guess I didn't find a solution after all. Nowadays, I always end-up using GraphQL for public APIs, so I haven't used this package anymore.
