Challenges

Dynamic Schema Changes: One of the primary hurdles in managing JSON data is coping with dynamic schema changes. As data structures evolve over time, traditional flattening processes often struggle to adapt, leading to data integrity issues and inefficiencies in data extraction.

Data Extraction Precision: Extracting specific data elements from nested JSON structures poses another significant challenge. Conventional methods lack the flexibility to customize data extraction, resulting in cumbersome processes and inaccurate results.

JSON Structure Analysis: Analyzing the nested levels and data types of JSON keys presents a challenge for data professionals. Without a clear understanding of the JSON structure and its data types, extracting precise information becomes challenging, leading to errors in data analysis.

Version Control and Data Consistency:  Maintaining version control and ensuring data consistency across different iterations is vital for reliable data management. However, traditional approaches often lack robust versioning mechanisms, making it challenging to track changes and roll back to previous versions when necessary.
