🏷️ Labels: Python, JSON, Data Handling, Code Modification, Data Integrity
📂 Project: Dev
⭐ Priority: MEDIUM

Session Goal

The aim of this session was to refactor and enhance the JSON export function in Python to ensure data integrity and prevent overwriting of existing data.

Key Activities

• Modified the JSON export function to prevent reinitialization of dictionaries, ensuring existing entries are preserved.
• Implemented logic to append new ‘Q’ values to existing dictionaries rather than creating new ones.
• Improved data structure logic to maintain a list of dictionaries for quarterly data.
• Updated key-value pairs in nested dictionaries to ensure correct data manipulation.
• Provided guidance on loading, accessing, and manipulating JSON data in Python.
• Corrected data entry logic to prevent overwriting data for the same quarter.
• Fixed import errors by ensuring necessary modules like copy are imported for deep copying.
• Enhanced nested structure traversal in the JSON export function to avoid data loss.

Achievements

• Successfully refactored the JSON export logic to maintain data integrity and prevent data duplication.
• Improved the handling of nested structures and data manipulation in Python.

Pending Tasks

• Further testing of the JSON export function to ensure all edge cases are handled.
• Documentation of the updated function logic for future reference.
