🏷️ Labels: JSON, Mapbox, Linux, PHP, Python
📂 Project: Dev
⭐ Priority: MEDIUM

Session Goal: The goal of this session was to explore and implement techniques for programmatically manipulating JSON documents, particularly focusing on Mapbox style JSON files, and to troubleshoot disk space issues on a Linux filesystem.

Key Activities:

• Developed a PHP class for Divi Builder to manage border styles.
• Reviewed Mapbox style JSON and documentation to understand its structure and components.
• Explored programmatic editing of Mapbox style JSON using the Mapbox Styles API, including fetching, modifying, and uploading JSON documents.
• Discussed various techniques for JSON manipulation using programming languages like Python, including using libraries and templating engines.
• Provided Python code snippets for handling JSON data, focusing on reading, inspecting, and manipulating JSON.
• Addressed disk space issues on a Linux filesystem by using command line tools such as df and du, and provided insights into cleaning up disk space and analyzing file sizes.

Achievements:

• Successfully outlined a systematic approach for programmatically editing Mapbox style JSON.
• Clarified techniques for JSON manipulation across different programming environments.
• Provided actionable steps for troubleshooting disk space issues on Linux.

Pending Tasks:

• Further exploration of advanced JSON manipulation techniques and their applications in different domains.
• Continuous monitoring and optimization of disk space usage on the filesystem.
