Data is stored as a .json file, not a text file

[boonjuey]

Based on the TP constraints, the data is to be stored in a human editable text file. However, the program stores it in a .json file. I do agree though, that parsing of a JSON file would be more reliable.

Team's Response

JSON is the commonly used standard for both parsing and understanding by humans. As compared to usage of delimiters, the better structure makes each parameter much easier to understand. (e.g. compare [add, 1, A, C, cs1010, modulename] with { name: modulename, grade: A, type: C, code: cs1010 }). The use of JSON in fact, makes understanding and editing the storage file easier with the clearly marked parameters names.
