- A server-side apply request that changes an object which has duplicate items in a keyed list, and modifies the duplicated item removes the duplicates and replaces them with the single item contained in the server-side apply request.

 * string `cute #puppies` is encoded as `cute%20%23puppies` when used as a query parameter value.
 *
 * ### Percent encoding
 *
 * Percent encoding replaces a character (like `\ud83c\udf69`) with its UTF-8 hex bytes (like
 * `%F0%9F%8D%A9`). This approach works for whitespace characters, control characters, non-ASCII
