Modify Python JSON Processing Script
Budget: $250 – $750 CAD
I have an existing Python script that processes text-based JSON files and turns them into a cleaner, consolidated output for later analysis. The core logic works, but I now need several adjustments to match a new data structure and to tighten the overall workflow.
Here’s what I’d like done:
• Update the parsing section so the script recognises a slightly different JSON schema (some keys have changed, and a few nested elements are new).
• Add sensible error handling for malformed or empty records so the run never silently fails.
• Optimise the loop that aggregates results; right now it chokes on large batches.
• Keep the current command-line interface intact—no breaking changes for the way I call the script.
The deliverable is the revised .py file plus a brief readme (or clear inline comments) outlining what you changed and how to run a quick test with sample data.
I’ll provide the current code and a handful of new JSON examples as soon as we start. If you’re comfortable working with standard libraries like json, pathlib, and maybe pandas for optional speedups, this should be a straightforward task.
