+## Intent
+Send partial response from server to client on need basis. Client will specify the the fields
+that it need to server, instead of serving all details for resource.

+## Applicability
+Use the Partial Response pattern when
+
+* Client need only subset of data from resource.
+* To avoid too much data transfer over wire
