📅 2023-10-06 — Session: Resolved JSON Merging and Serialization in Python

🕒 22:40–23:40
🏷️ Labels: Python, JSON, Merging, Serialization, Customencoder
📂 Project: Dev
⭐ Priority: MEDIUM

Session Goal: The primary goal was to address and resolve issues related to merging JSON structures in Python and to implement custom serialization and deserialization techniques.

Key Activities:

• Explored traditional cooking with a recipe for oven-baked empanadas, setting a creative context for the session.
• Investigated a JSON merging issue in Python, focusing on preventing duplicate grouper values and ensuring correct updating of Q values.
• Developed and refined a Python function merge_jsons to handle hierarchical JSON merging, including recursive approaches.
• Implemented custom serialization and deserialization functions to maintain data integrity, particularly for Python’s boolean values.
• Integrated a CustomJSONEncoder to facilitate customized JSON handling, allowing for specific serialization of complex data types like tuples.

Achievements:

• Successfully resolved JSON merging issues with a robust recursive function.
• Enhanced JSON handling capabilities with a custom encoder to address serialization needs.

Pending Tasks:

• Further testing of the custom JSON functions in diverse scenarios to ensure robustness.
• Documentation of the new JSON handling techniques for future reference.
