Refactored JSON Export and Merging Functions in Python

📅 2023-10-02 — Session: Refactored JSON Export and Merging Functions in Python

🕒 19:35–20:40
🏷️ Labels: Python, JSON, Data Processing, Function Optimization, Debugging
📂 Project: Dev
⭐ Priority: MEDIUM

Session Goal: The session aimed to address and refine the process of exporting and merging hierarchical JSON data using Python, focusing on improving efficiency and modularity.

Key Activities:

• Corrected issues in the JSON export function, particularly handling empty dictionaries and duplicate keys.
• Developed a structured approach for processing quarterly data and generating hierarchical JSON structures.
• Implemented a merging function to combine data from multiple quarters, ensuring no duplicates.
• Enhanced data processing workflow by emphasizing efficient looping and unique filename generation to prevent overwriting.
• Refactored the exportar_a_json_jerarquico function to separate data processing from file I/O operations, improving modularity.
• Optimized the merge_jsons function to append new data entries while preserving existing ones.
• Added status updates to the data processing script to improve visibility and debugging.

Achievements:

• Successfully refactored and optimized the JSON export and merging functions.
• Improved the overall data processing workflow, ensuring efficient handling of hierarchical data structures.

Pending Tasks:

• Further testing and validation of the refactored functions in different data scenarios to ensure robustness.
• Implementation of additional error handling mechanisms to manage unexpected data anomalies.
