With that, what he created next was export functions for JSON, PDF, or HTML.
So he typed the necessary code to handle each export format.
…
python
import json
def export_profile(profile_dict, filename="identity.json"):
with open(filename, 'w') as f:
json.dump(profile_dict, f, indent=4)
…
This function saves a fake identity stored in a Python dictionary into a JSON file.
The variable profile_dict holds the generated identity, and filename refers to the output file name, which defaults to identity.json.
The json.dump function writes the dictionary into the file using structured JSON format with indentation for better readability.
This enables exporting of generated data, allowing Jeff to save and reuse the fake identities outside the app.
This is especially important for storing, sharing, or using them in other tools.
Since JSON is a universal format used in web development, APIs, and databases, it can easily be imported back into Python or uploaded to web forms.
